I've recently taken up long distance as a hobby and I've decided to look at building my own thing. Because of this I'm dissassembling and selling off the parts of my old "that'll do" multi purpose rifle that I bought finished product and building my own the way I want it to be.
My old rifle has an original Remington 700 action with an 0.532 bolt face and chambered in 300rum, with a far too expensive chassis on it.
I might keep that bolt and simply get it rebarrelled in 300winmag. Replacing the scope, scope mount, and chassis.
But I have been considering moving to a short action in 308 (for ammo price as well as practical reasons).
In that respect I've had a look at what's available, and so I'm looking for recommendations.
It seems what's most easily available in a remington 700 pattern are Defiance, Faxon, American arms origin, and Zermatt arms origin.
So, simple question I guess.
Are any of these any good?
