So I've been debating between a Howa 1500 and the legendary Rem 700.
I like the aftermarket support for the 700 and the legacy behind the gun. The Howa seems like a better value and the trigger was awesome.
The stocks are irrelevant to me because I plan on getting a Blackhawk Axiom full free float stock for the collapsible stock (max my storage capacity in the gun cabinet) and for the tactical look.
I'm back and forth about caliber also. 99.99% of this rifle use will be at the ranges near Plattsburgh, Peru and Champlain in New York state.
I really wanted to stick with a .308 for the true sniper feel. I also had planned on building my own AR15 in .223/5.56NATO so I couldn't see the point in having two rifles the same caliber in my very small rifle collection.
I also own a Arsenal SLR 94 and a S&W MP15-22.
What do you guys think?
