Ooh, and it still needs an AR 15 buffer tube, $30, and a stock, which will cost what you want to pay. Say you just want it cheap, the a2 stock kit will get you going for $65-70, which comes with a buffer tube and stock. Then, you have to get the magazine, since chassis require a magazine. Best place is MDT tac, and its another $70.
So before you do anything with the rifle, just getting a usable chassis system is looking like $690 before shipping.
That leaves you very little cash to do anything else. You may want to look into a more classic style stock. I have just a pillar bedded hogue overmold on my Stevens build, and with very little work, I'm shooting 338-06 at around 2-2.5" at 300 yards.
That being said, less recoil then a 30-06? 1k distance? If you want to keep the bolt simple, then I would say just go with the 6.5 Creedmore. Very hot right now, factory ammo, and on the ammo boxes it gives you the load information so you can reload and match the ballistics of your factory ammo.
Hopefully that wasn't too much, to fast for you. I just know the cost of the MDT system, LSS-XL and mag cost 638.98 shipped to my front door, ordered last week. And I already had the PRS buttstock kicking around. If you are recoil sensitive, start researching muzzle brakes, just understand that a good one will cost around another $100, and then you have to have your barrel cut for it.
Good luck, feel free to message me of you have any questions.
