I have been looking into building a target/plinking rifle for a while now. Basically, I am stuck between three options. I want a 308 caliber mainly for various array of reloading supplies and their non bs target quality. The options I have been pondering on have been to either purchase a Remington 700 or a Savage Model 10. Both of which would be the bull barrel or law enforcement types. Or, I have been thinking of buying an action, and building my own rifle. My cousin has built several rifles of various calibers, and could help me out with my choices, but I would like to know what you guys think? I have a budget of around $1000 for the rifle and scope. Can one be built for my price range, or should I not even think about it?
