so i am just about finished with my AR build all i need to complete it is a UBR and maybe a troy battle grip than paint/coat it my self which i plan on doing later.

so I'm looking forward to the next gun and i been wanting to get a bolt .308 for long distance/precision shooting for a while. The rifle i have had my eye on is the remington 700 police in .308. with 26 inch 1/12 twist rate barrel and HS precision stock and aluminum bedding. i have thought about savage, howa, and a few other companies, but i just like the 700. the cost of this rifle is around 799.99 if im lucky to find it for that and up too 950.00 ish retail in Colorado what i have seen. i am going to try and pro-deal this from remington since i work at dicks sporting goods part time we can get some good deals, but it is a Pain in the ass to get ahold of remington to see if i can even get it alot of run around and red tape.

The scope i think i want to get is a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T M1 either the 6.5-20x50 Between $836.25-952.50 or the 8.5-25x50 between $900.00-1035.00 in the mil-dot or TMR can't make my mind up and if my budget allows maybe the illuminating radical which is the higher price. i can get one scope at 50% off suggested retail price which is the above prices after the discount.

so i am considering getting the scope first as i can get a decent deal on it right now while i am working and have the money? or try and get the rifle? from reading posts an so forth most say go with good glass when getting into long distance and precision. i have been competing in High power service rifle matches and have attend camp perry the last two years. i started when i was 16 as well with small bore rifle as practice/ learning the basics. i am currently 21 and i just received my Master Classification couple of weeks ago for high power across the course. which I'm pretty stoked about only one more "high master". i have been mostly in the iron game, but would really like to get into some scope stuff as well. basically trying to figure out a direction i want to go. i have asked about buying factory vs building. i am thinking i should start out by just buy factory and when i wear out the barrel buy something nice to upgrade it way down the road.

any thoughts would be appreciative!
