i was going to give an update on what i decided to do. after thinking on everything for a few days i decided to just go with the .308. that way i can deer hunt with it if i want to. and also a good friend said he had several boxes of lake city match ammo that i could use to start off with. besides i have a reloading table full of powder that needs to be used. heres the setup i'm going to go with...
Gun should be here next week. i really like that third stud for a bipod.
Scope which i got in today. for the money it's really pretty nice and clear even on 40x. still haven't decided on base and rings yet. i've used leupold forever but thought about trying burris this time. any suggestions? when i get everything together i'll post a couple pics and the results. thanks for all the info guys.
