taylorce1. it's .308. i already have the timney on my mosin, so i will probably want a decent trigger one day. but i think i will start with a stock job and then a barrel before i get into comfort things like triggers etc. the min reason i have never delved into a real rifle that can shoot great distances is i knew that a great piece of glass is going to be a big investment. but lately i have been seeing folks hitting 1000's with Muellers offerings, which i persoally find very clear, high quality and way better priced than the nightforce/vortex/millet counters. this will be a long term project for me, i want to just do this once and do it right, not saying money won't be an abject, but i will not be cutting corners like i do on some of my rifles. a 700 has always been a dream of mine, or a model 10, and i had no clue that it was acheiveable. i thought for sure that these "budget 700's were somethng completely different than the high priced ones. thanks for the input guys. this may be my first and last bolt-actionfor a really long time, and will be taking it slow. maybe this time next year i will be able to look appreciably towards it and have what i really want. i will absolutely shoot this barrel a good bit while i hone my bolt skills, something i haven't ever really taken too seriously in my past. i am glad to be, hopefully, stepping up to a more mature and quality firarm rather than my AR's and levers etc. i am unexplainabley happy.
sorry, no spell check on my tab for some reason
