Looking to put together a bolt rifle on a chassis for an intro into long range target shooting (500 to 1,000 yds). Not really a hunter so won't be treking with this rifle but would like to keep it reasonably light weight and am hoping to use it to build some skills for possible competitive shooting one day. I'm trying to keep the whole thing minus optics at or under $1,200. This may be tight for a budget but I've got other financial obligations and will need to buy ammo! Any suggestions? Seems Rem 700 and Tikka T3 are possible options.
I also don't mind buying something used from a reputable source
