Alternate thread title: Another stupid n00b question.
So the OD green Howa 1500 in the Oryx chassis is on sale a lot of places.
Do I bite the bullet and get one now to rebarrel to a 6CM or 6BR after X rounds? Wait till I can get what (I think) I really want?
I shoot rimfire PRS (MARS) matches now (badly!) but have been wanting a 'big' rifle for a while. The range where this is likely to be shot most goes out to 800yds
Can you turn a 6.5cm rifle into a 6BR relatively easily later?
Thoughts? Am I stupid for jumping into something I don't really want to get into centerfire PRS stuff?
