Need the opinions of my fellow INGO'ers on this one. Im planning on making a precision bolt action rifle. Caliber will be 308 and I'd like to take it to 1000 yards so I'd like a barrel length of 20 in or more. Budget for the base rifle is $1000 or less. I plan on upgrading it as time goes on but I need to get the base rifle first! I'm torn between a R700 and a Savage. I'm a little concerned about the QC issues I've been reading about on here with the newer R700's coming out and group think on here is that a Savage is more accurate out of the box. That being said the amount of aftermarket parts for the R700 is on par with Glocks so there is that to consider as well. I know this is kind of like a Ford vs. Chevy argument but I'd like to know what people's opinions are. Also if there is a better option feel free to make a suggestion. I am wanting a more modern rifle and am not interested in taking a mil-surp rifle and sporterizing it so please don't make that suggestion. Thanks in advance!
