Thanks and yeah, i've got a fun gun custom coming my way in a couple months from ASI, a custom mini in 6.8 for my predator calling adventures....set up pretty simple with bell & carlson stock green, satin finish stainless, 21" linear comped barrel .750 diam, no sights, no hand guard...should be...

talked to him last night...said same thing...give it to him for recrown, trigger, bedding and then go shoot it from there...if it doesn't shoot then back to him for barrel and asked him about trueing action and he said maybe if a new barrel is needed but with the long action he wasn't too...

what about optics and rings/bases for a rig like this? a friend has a leupy mark 4 4.5-14x50 illum mil-dot on his 300wm and loves it and leupy dual dovetail bases/rings?(never heard of them?)......but there are so many options out there not sure...i see they have a mark 4 like his but 40mm...

Would the factory xcr with a brake and some standard rem tune ups from the smith work...or is custom barrel the way to go?

ooooh, 338....wasn't thinking of that big but your a good salesman!:D this is exciting stuff to think about! i was eyeballing that 7mm with those 180 gr vld's...but 300 smk's sound like alot of fun lol keep it coming guys...i love it cc

Hi Long Range Hunters! I've been reading this fascinating forum for a little while now and loving it. I think i've finally made up my mind to jump into this game and have a gun built for me for big game hunting, and looking for opinions/thoughts on what i should aim for in a build? I have...
