I think that is a good idea, the Rem in either .308 or 7mm-08 is a great deer/elk rifle. Build yourself a fun rifle later on using the AR-15 platform. My boy just built his in 9mm so it's cheap to shoot but it's all decked out. All he needs is a new upper in order to have a totally new gun. 5.56 for varmints or even a 6.5 grendel or a 6.8 SPC and he has a great deer rifle.
