Re: Good and Low Budget??

Stevens 200 is by far the best bang for the buck in my opinion. Here is what I did with my brother's rifle for just very little money.

Best bang for the buck:
Stevens in 308 $200-$300
EGW 20moa base $45.00
Vortex 6-24x50 $99.00
Decent rings $25-50.00

Then get into hand loading. Then modify as you can afford it. PM me for more info on any of this.

Good luck,
Merritt

There's a pretty substantial difference between the SPS and 700P. The 700P's come out of the factory with an accuracy guarantee I believe. The SPS can be hit or miss. Granted, more "hit" than miss.
