Hi, fng here checking in with a question about a new bolt purchase.
Wal-Mart has a sporter-barrel equipped .30-06 Remington 700 on what appears to be a non-free floating stock for $397; it's even got a cheapo scope on it.
Should I purchase this, or spend the extra dough for an Sps for $599 from Cabelas?
I originally wanted a .308, as I understand it is more accurate. Would an 06 be just as accurate? Also, I was planning on switching up to a bell and carlson stock in either case.
Is a sporter barrel going to perform significantly worse than the bull barrel up to 800 or so yards?
TIA for your recommendation.
