Hey guys, its been a while, but I need some advice and what better place to come!
First, I have a buddy who just bought a Remington 700 sps tactical in .308. Well he took it to the range and out of the box it shot Sub-Moa with Hornady ammo. But anyway, a week later his dad bought him a new Tikka t3 .300win and he LOVES IT. well he just through his new remmy 700 in his safe with the rest of his old crap and I asked if I could buy it from him. He said that he would sell it to me for $500.00. I cant find any online that is "basically brand new" for less than that price. Would it be a good deal if I bought it?
My plan is to strip her down and start a custom .260 build from that 700 action. But thats probably the only thing I want from that 700. The barrel is a heavy type barrel but its only 22" and the stock is a hunk of junk. I was wanting to screw a krieger 26" on it and drop it in EITHER a bell and carlson adjustable Tactical Medalist OR a Mcmillan A-5 stock OR a Manners MCS T4A. THey allll look about the same but its hard for me to choose! Then drop a jewel trigger in it, and pop a suppressor/brake on the end and lay a 20MOA rail on top and call it a day!
What do you guys think? I could reallyyyy use some advice.. especially on the stock! I like them all and the prices are VERY different (on stockystocks website). Any advice is appreciated Thank you!
