Thread: Magpul 700 build + Pistol clubs?

Christmas is fast approaching, and I'm thinking to myself that this years present to me should be a nice new hunting rifle.

This is what I'm considering:
Magpul Hunter 700 stock with AICS bottom metal kit
Remington 700 donor in 308
Trigger - Timney?
Scope - probably a 2-10 or similar.
Barrel chopped to 16-17in and suppressed.

First question I have - is a blind mag (BDL?) 700 OK for the donor? I'm assuming all 700 actions are the same.
Specifically going for the Magpul stock as I've the 10/22 version and it fits my hand and hold really well.

Second question - recommendations for a good friendly pistol club in Auckland. I'm based in Greenhithe, but happy to travel if I get to hang out with some good c**ts while I learn and get my B.
