I have never owned anything other than pistols and an old .22 Remington. Recently decided I wanted a long range rifle.
I'm heavily involved in 4wheeling and frickin hate dumb ass newbs asking questions that have been answered 1000 times SO.... rather than ask, I've spent the last several months reading. Here, snipercentral, accurateshooter, etc. digesting as much as I could. Then I went to one of the sergeants I work with and he recommended a well regarded local gun smith. I sat down with him and ironed out a plan. (long term build on a tight budget)!
Bought a Remington 700 SPS 26" varmint barrel chambered in .243
(I'm not reinventing the wheel)
Had my smith scrap the crap-mark pro trigger.. He brought out a big box and built me and "old style" trigger out of parts. Trigger breaks like glass at 2#.
Scored a Leupold Mark 6-18x40 scope.
Nothing special really, but I'm a form follows function/ anti gear queer kinda guy.
Build plans are a B&C medalist stock, rechamber to .260, AI removeable mag kit, krieger barrel, bedded, trued and all that happy jazz shit.
Not looking to win any paper punching comps, (although the 24 hour sniper challenge is what got me interested in all this) I just want to build a solid gun that can ride in the back of my patrol car and take care of business when needed.
