I'm looking to get my first bolt gun. I am also looking to buy used and spend about 400 without glass.
My local shop has a plain jane 110 in .308 (my preferred round) for 375. They also have an extremely nice looking 1903 in 30-06 for 310. The 1903 has a deep flawless blueing and is set into a custom hunting stock with burl accents. Of course, the stock on the 1903 is cracked, but I'd be willing to bet that I can fix it. The savage is basically everything I want (except for a nice poilished blueing), but I can't get the 1903 out of my head.
The real question here is this: Which action/barrel is better for 100-300 yard precision shooting? I'll mostly be hunting with it, but longish range target shooting is certainly not out of the question.
Thanks.
