have a rem 700sps, in .308 which I have dropped into a magpul hunter chassis stock, with a trigger tech trigger.
want to replace the barrel with something newer, longer than 20", and heavier contour.
figure I'd get it blueprinted / trued up while I am at it
goal is to keep it under $1,500ish, and be sub moa to 800, hopefully 1,000 yards
1) one consideration is to just get something new (or new to me at least)
frustration with that is the ongoing gun scarcity
2) +/- on the magpul vs another chassis
I have two cases of Berger 185 juggernauts, which shoot fine, BUT ARE A LITTLE TOO LONG FOR THE NEW BOX MAG, WHICH CAME WITH THE MAGPUL HUNTER
----a) can front lip of mag be notched, to allow feeding through the magazine?
----b) can other mags be used with the magpul hunter
----c) (which I doubt) can I seat the bullet a little deeper to fit???
If I get the action re-worked, I am thinking of something m24ish contour at 24 inches
if I could limp by with current stock, than that would seem way to go
3) and of course the best answer is : "it depends . . ."
but, how much would a barrel, swap, and truing run (ballpark ranges)
