The question I have is, if i could get a full chassis set up for 700 bucks, and barrel for 300, that would reach my budget. Would I be smart to get a boyds laminate stock, quality barrel, throw some optics on the rifle and start stretching out my range? I just want to know a caliber of which is not too expensive to shoot and at the same time can get out to the range I want. I want factory ammo to be available for I do not always have time to reload. Has anyone done a boyds laminate stock and re-barreled? What level of precision was achieved with this set-up??
