Hello board, I am new to the gun hobbie and have been researching rifles lately, and want to make a good purchase. I have never fired a rifle. So this is where im at...
I am looking to get a rifle in .223, I have seen videos of this caliber being shot and recoil is pretty minimal.
I am looking at both R700's and Savage's, leaning more towards a Savage. I wanted to know if buying a cheap stock rifle of say a Savage 12 FV and then buying this stock http://www.xlrindustries.com/index.html would be a smart move. Biggest reason for me choosing that model rifle is the 26" barrel and .223 also price. Or buying a cheap r700 and buying a nice stock. Some one posted a link to a badass R700 stock that cost like 500-600 but dont remember the brand.
All in all i want a reliable, accurate, and nice rifle. What do you guys think?
