Just looking for a off the shelf accurate rifle that will be great to upgrade it’s stock and make it a shooter that’s all

You need more than a good stock for a shooter. A couple here have made some suggestions on very accurate out of the box shooters. I would set your sights on something other than Remington 700. There are a lot of guns in your range that will out perform or perform just as well as a Remington 700.

Here are a few I would suggest:
Ruger American Predator
Savage Axis II
Tikka T3
Howa 1500

I switched over to Tikka rifles probably 10 years ago and haven't looked back. The more people that shoot with me, the more tikkas I see. They are the best bang for my buck atleast. Accuracy wise, they match or beat out most customs.

.280 AI or 6.5/.284......

He doesn't reload unfortunately, otherwise those would be excellent.

off the shelf, accurate rifles, that are affordable yet ugly : Savage



off the shelf, accurate rifle that is affordable and nice looking: Tikka



off the shelf rifle that will cost you $1000: Rem 700 ss 5R



the most basic "custom rifle" using a 700 donor action will cost you $1250+

Or a Ruger Precision Rifle at 1k-1200

Ruger American Predator in 308. Put a Boyds or a Magpul Stock on it and be done.

That's 10-11 lbs without a scope. I believe OP said he wanted something light.

Would be nice if it got popular enough to see multiple choices at academy.

He also said he wanted a custom for 600$

Thank you all for your help I believe I had misspoken about what I was looking for. I will look for a rifle that I can tinker with and dress up. It will probably a savage axis or a ruger american.

For that price range I would get a Rem 700 adl in what ever caliber and a trigger upgrade. Then save another 600 buy a barrel and stock, then save another 1000 and get a good gunsmith to true the action, re barrel, square the bolt face, and pillar bed.
I am in a build right now and have over 2k in parts with the glass, that does not include smith work.

Before paint
