Hi,
I hope you can help me with my decision. I never had a long-range rifle and I am buying my first gun. I wanted a 6.5 Creedmoor because of the accuracy but now I am thinking of picking up a .308 because it is way cheaper (gun and ammo) in my country (6.5 creed guns are very limited). + the longest shooting range in our country is 800 meters or 875 yards. So I don't really need long-range caliber or do I for that kind of length?
So my question is because I am on a budget and for that length, is it ok to buy a Bergara rifle in .308 and put it on MDT chassis?
And the next question is because I am putting the barrel on different chassis is the barrel on all B14 Bergaras the same? Our local store has Bergara B14 sporter varmint 24" or Bergara B14 HMR...because sporter varmint is way cheaper.
I won't be shooting precision competitions. Probably only steel plates.
Thanks!
