In all seriousness you say the rifle is 1/2 moa capable. Are you ?
I'm gonna tell you something you probably don't want to hear.
Those stocks are really comfy to shoot no doubt, but they are heavy, then there is the heavy barrel that is gonna be a beast of a rifle to cart about the hills.
I personally think you've made a poor choice for a hunting rifle but that's my opinion, really have a think before you waste time and money setting this rifle up if it really is what you want and need for the type of hunting you want to do.
I also urge you to think about what long range hunting is to you and are you capable ? Its not just a matter of point and shoot.
It's something that takes a lot of time, patience, practice and money to become proficient at.
End of the day it's you money and your choice, I'm just trying to save you a little time and money.
There are better medium range (and thats all you'll be doing with a 308 I would pick) rifles out there that will be better suited to your needs.
A rifle like you have pictured above is far more suited to competition shooting.
