Well, my less than sober gunbroker-ing won me this today - a Howa 1500 in .30-06 with a Busnhell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40 scope. No idea about the rings or the stock - im assuming the latter will need to be replaced.
My question for you all: what should I do with this rifle? Looking for to build a good general purpose "all around" rifle that can reach out to a reasonable distance. Not looking to win high power matches - I recognize I would need to spend a lot more to get into that territory.
So far I am thinking:
B&C Medalist Classic stock
Triad Tactical stock bag
Sling of some flavor (suggestions?)
Harris 6-9" swivel bipod
Rings (if the ones on the rifle are crap)
Ammo
Trying to keep this build relatively inexpensive, but open to any/all suggestions.
