hey everyone.
i think i'm going the way of the one rifle shooter. hopefully i can bag a hog one day, but before that happens i will probably be spending a lot of time at the range. and i'd like to work my way out to say 600 yds.
from what i've read, the stevens is a savage with a cheap stock. so, while keeping it sub-$800, i think i'm going to replace the stock with a choate tactical or maybe a B&C medalist. i still haven't done any research on optics so i'm open to any suggestions.
my biggest head-scratcher is deciding on a .308 or a 30-06. this being the only rifle i plan on purchasing, i'm hoping to make the right decision. i've shot a .270 but looking for a little more. never shot a .308 or an 06.
economically speaking, which one would you guys suggest in terms of cheap decent ammo, shooting pigs out to 600 yds, and longevity of the rifle as it relates to corrosion and wear from shooting? the .308 or 30-06?
anyone have any tips or warnings with changing out the OEM stock with a choate or B&C? should i do the detachable mag conversion like with SSS or CDI?
