Hello all,
A while back I posted about possibly building an AR in a 6.5 creedmoor but I’ve decided to change the type/style to a more tradition type but in a Boyds stock similar to what I have with my CZ Varmint @One 22lr.
I had plans of using the Remington 700 bolt action and a Lilja barrel but I’ve not found a REM 700 and I know that they are out of business from what I’ve found out. Are there any other actions only that you would recommend or suggest as alternates that don’t cost an arm and a leg? Also long or short action?
I looked at the Defiance and while they sure look nice the price tag is a bit more than what I was hoping for. Was hoping to get one in the $500-$700 range. Am I out of line on this price tag?
My primary goal is for longer range shooting for myself. I don’t plan on competing or anything just for fun but if I’m going to build one I’d like something that will work well for me.
Thanks in advance!
