I've always enjoyed hunting but frankly I only ever did it as a kid. I never could afford a decent rifle must less paying for a lease.

For several years now I have wanted a Remington 700 .308 rifle, and recently purchased one. One of the other things I have really enjoyed in the past is accurate shooting at targets far away hence the wish for an accurate yet affordable rifle.

I would like to take my new rifle out deer hunting, I doubt this year, but like most things it's fun to make modifications. I have been looking at scopes, stocks, detachable clips, etc...

I am concerned that in my "fun" modifying my rifle I may make it ineligible to be used as a deer hunting rifle in Texas.

I'm a real noob when it comes to any of this so ANY information you'd like to share about deer hunting will be great, especially about deer leases, best areas to hunt, in Texas.
