Could be I got them back wards if I go with a 700 itll likely be 3006 theonly gun iv always wanted and not had is a bolt action 3006 the reasoning for the ar was the 308 is both 308 and 7.62. I want a target done to but. Iv become a rather good shot over the years. Idk what it is but I can pick up a rifle pistol shotgun whatever and shoot dang good with it. Iv been wanting to get more into long range dead on target shooting. Like say 200-500 yards. Iv mastered the art of being good out to 200 and fast shooting. Feel now its not a challenge. I think id get more fun and a challenge out of the slow long range shooting more sniper type target shooting then the pop pop pop shooting with an ar plus ars like to blew alot of money through a mag quick
