So I'm pretty excited. I've pulled the $ trigger on the pieces to start learning long range shooting.
Savage Axis in .308 - most bang for the buck in a starter-rifle IMO
Review: http://www.snipercentral.com/bushtact.htm
Bushnell Elite 3200 Tactical 10x with target turrets and mil-spec reticule
Also ordered:
EGW one piece scope base http://www.egwguns.com/savage/savage-edge/axis-picatinny-rail-scope-mount/
Harris Bipod S-BRM Swivel Bipod-Leg Notch 6"- 9"
I'm going to have my smith mount and bore-sight it as well as give it a good action/trigger smoothing down to maybe 3 pounds.
This is intended to be a starter rifle to allow me to teach myself long-range shooting. Will probably spend around $700 after all the goodies, and I want to try a multicam spray-paint job just for kicks.
My goal is to be cold-bore dead-on accurate to 600 yards in whatever conditions I encounter. After that, I will drop a good $2000-3000 on a really nice sniper rifle and this one will live in the truck.
