help with my build

[bigleo18]

I am looking at a 12fv in 308 and putting it in a mcrees chassis still need a scope ,rings and bipod is this a good pair to start off with looking to get into long range and if you could help with the rest thanks.

What is your budget? 20 moa base, Seekins rings, harris bipod, and a decent scope. The new Burris are nice, Bushnell, vortex, S&B. Depends on what you want to do with it. LRP has the closed top and target trigger, it is also a large shank.

If he's looking at the12FV from Cabellas then I don't think it's the same. What's your budget for the scope?

Rough estimate
$1000 for optic
$100 for base
$130 for rings
$120 Harris bipod

I am looking at a Atlas bipod the scope I am looking to spend 5 to800 on if I can get a good scope for that is the chassis and rifle a good combination to start with

[Kadams1563]

Sent you a PM. Those atlas are nice but I think you would better off on saving some coin and go cheaper on bipod and put more in the scope.

[Newsshooter]

Yup, get the Harris bipod, the atlas is nice, I have one too, but for starting you you'd be better off with more money for a better scope. The Harris won't be an issue and lots of guys shooting PRS still use a prefer a harris. A used Bushnell 3-21, new Vortex PST FFP, or Burris SCR. I started out with the vortex, it's a decent scope, I also have a bushnell and the new burris which has the best glass of the thee.

murphy precision 20moa base
votex PST or better yet the razor line if you can afford it
ARC M10 rings

Vortex PST is an awesome scope, I have 2 with their EBR-1 reticle, couldn't be happier.

If you are going to be shooting prone at the range don't overlook the older Sinclair used. Might find one for < $120.

Put as much money as you can in the glass. I have 3 vortex pst scopes and couldn't be happier with them. Invest in the optics, or you'll have to later on. Buy once, cry once.

Here is my 2 Cents...if you are on a budget.

Scope: Primary Arms FFP 4-14x
Scope Rail: EGW 20 MOA
Rings: Burris XTreme Tactical 30mm
Bipod: Harris 6-9 BRMS with podloc.

If you are using the rig for bench/prone style long range shooting and not competition or hunting the PA Arms should work just fine. Don't get me wrong, I think higher end optics are great, but you can get on target just fine with some the less expensive scopes.
