Thinking about building a .308 sniper rifle advice?

How does the VLS compare to some of the mentioned weapons?

that brings up some very good points to consider. so many choices its hard to pick.

Rgr that, that's why you do some research, pick one, shoot the @#$^ out of it and learn along the way. By the time your ready for the next one, you'll know exactly what you want.

I have a Howa 1500 heavy barrel .308 in a MKII stock with a Luepold Mark 2 scope. It's not an Accuracy International or GA Precision and not built on a Rem or Surgeon action, etc. But it gets the job done and is a great intro rifle into the art of long range stuff. I've only had it for a few years but I'm already close to needing another barrel for it, and when it is time to "upgrade" I know exactly what I'll be getting with items in the current market.

i coulden't agree more with you more. and that is why i am asking the questions now from other peoples experince.

if my plan for school works out i plan to finish my last to years of college get my degree. Than go into gunsmithing at colorado trades school down in denver with that school you build your own custom rifle how you want it. if i can aford the school and time that is where i will build the rifle i want i am going to try and buy a entry level stock gun as a starter to get a feel of what i want we will see with the cost of college and high power service rifle shooting goes might have to be after college. and get a steady paying job. that is if we have jobs still in the next to years with this economy.
