So i have been planning a bolt action build for quite some time. I was originally planning on going Howa 1500 barreled action with a Mcmillan a5 or a6 stock. Now I am leaning towards Bergara b14 hmr wilderness. If I like the stock it would save me about $600.00 over what the Howa would run. If I don't like the stock it will wind up being 1k more overall or so as the Bergara is 1k and Howa action around 500-600.
Next would be optics. I am on a budget and really been a fan of SWFA since the original 10x42m back in the mid to late 90s. With that in mind I was going to go with the ss 5-20hd, but lately been looking at the burris dmr 2 but never used a busier reticle, just mil dot. So kinda split on the optic.
For the bipod I was either going to start off cheap with the trusty Harris and eventually upgrade to the Atlas. Overall its around 2.5k-3k for the Bergara build depending on optic.
As I am in planning stage I am always open to suggestions.
