I realize I'm years behind most folks on this site being new to long-range precision shooting so bear with me...
What degree (if any) professional gunsmith service is required to re-stock a Remington 700 from factory stock to something aftermarket?
I'm looking for a quick recommendation for a quality, reasonably priced (~ $500) spotting scope. I've had my eye on the Leupold Sequoia 20-60x80 but don't want to make a mistake. I have a Leupold scope today and like the quality of their products.
