hello, im looking at getting a new project bolt rifle, the remington 700 was one i was looking at, as it is an accurate platform and is a reliable firearm with history and lots of customization possibilities

basic specs:
Round type : 30 06 or 308
stock: easy to take off and swap with a newer stock, mainly looking at getting a precision stock to make shooting easier(adjustabl cheek rest & recoil pad.
scope mounting : rail mount
Bolt action: smooth bolt operation as well as quick
magazine: feed from bottom, 5 - ten rounds
barrel: 22"
durability: resist water,sun, dirt, drop

conversion of rifle to mainly an accurate rifle

ive looked @ a few below
-savage axis scope hit by bolt or finger hit scope,no stock modification that i know off
-ruger american, great rifle but again no stock modification that i know off
-remington 700, lots of stock options
-mauser, i havent looked at this yet but good reviews

basically i need a rifle with a good bolt, and decent accuracy that i can work from and get a cheeck rised stock on , with a magazine

thanks for the help
