Lots of confusion on a .308 build.
I am looking into getting into semi long range 1000k is probably max. I am wanting to stick with a .308 just for the ease of components and factory ammo. I am confused on what gun to start of the build? My LGS has a 10 FCP-SR that I can get for about $600 but that seems like a waste to me. I will be putting it in a chassis so paying for the savage drop mags is a waste. The only thing that I need is the action and a heavy barrel and want it to be threaded. That's why the 10FCP-SR caught my eye.
The rifle will be use for long range precision training and range work. Badlands Tactical is pretty close to my so I am planning on training with them some more. I have only done pistol classes with them.
$2500 budget is about max for the record. I am open for suggestions on what components as well.
This is what I have planned so far:
Rifled action (Unknown)
KRG 180 Alpha chassis (really expensive for me though) or the XLR element with extreme butstock
Vortex Viper PST 6x24 FFP or SWFA 10x42 fixed for the cheap budget
TPS one piece 20moa base and rings
Harris bipod
