Remington 700 Varmint .308 or Savage 11 .308

[husky390]

Here's what I have in mind for either of them. These will be incremental upgrades. Also, the club I belong to only has a 600 yard range so I wont be shooting 1k yards all the time. I just want the capability for when I have the opportunity.

McCree's Precision folding stock
Timney trigger. (Savage model is cheaper)
EGW 20 MOA base (Maybe Badger instead)
Bushnell Extreme Tactical Rings (I own them already)
Nikon Buckmaster 6-18SF target turrets (I own already but will upgrade down the road)
Harris Bipod and Caldwell rests (I own them already)
Possible cut down and threading of the barrel.

Am I missing anything? The listed parts above are available for both of the manufacturers. If I were to base the rifle on looks, the Remington would win, hands down.

That list won't last a year

All jokes aside.. I hope you reload. It will pay for itself and will be a lot more enjoyable knowing it's your roll that's tacking shit out there.

1K yards... IDPA sized targets will be easy... it's hitting those damn 7"x 3" steel prairie dog's at 400 to 600 yards that will make you scratch you head a lot

Good luck and enjoy your new addiction. Looking forward to seeing the end product in a few

LOL, no kidding. I do reload so I at least have that covered.

With that list I'd lean toward the Remington. There's just more options out there for everything and if you decide on a different stock / chassis later on its easier to sell the first one ect. That and there's more smiths out there that already swim in the Remington pool.
