Guys, I'm getting ready to put a deposit down. I have a lightweight packing rifle-this is for mounted operations for hunting in the fields and mountains of Idaho. I am pretty well stuck on the .338 Norma for all the reasons we've read about in the past. Sightron III 6-24 is going on top. I am trying to blend weight (10-14 lbs), budget (2500-3000), and long range accuracy (up to 1200 yard elk system) into my dream LR rifle. Here's what's on the table:
700 ADL magnum action, recut and blue printed
Brux #4 1:10 twist with muzzle brake, expoxy bedded alum pillars, free floated
McMillan HTG hunting with integral bar & clamp adjustable cheek piece
Speedlock firing pin and Wolff pin spring
Ceracoat finish
PTG detachable magazine and trigger guard with A.I. 5 round clip
PTG/Badger extractor for Lapua Mag bolt face
$3100
I know a new trigger is going to be a common comment, but I've had great luck with the new Remmy triggers and if need be, after the piggy bank recovers, can easily upgrade later. My real question is am I missing something important? Is the price about right? Are any of these parts extraneous that I could do without and cut the cost?
Thanks for your guys' opinions.
