I'm in the process of shopping for my first precision rig. Now, I'm not into the fancy calibers (read: 6mm BR or any of the Ackley Improved family, or any of 'em wildcats).
As such, I was recommended a few different ones.
.308, which is venerable, apparently pretty easy to load for;
.243, which, with handloads and the right barrel can be accurate to 1000 yards, but is a bit of a barrel burner, or so I hear;
Or anything you're willing to suggest. Please note that I will be building this rig probably off of a Remington 700 SPS Varmint, considering that I like the stock and the new Remington actions.
Oh, and no .50 BMG, or .416 Cheytac. And I can't afford anyting chambered for the .338 Lapua.
