[QUOTE="hawk4974, post: 920528, member: 77330"] I realize just buying a new rifle would be a better route to take but there's a little man on my shoulder that says "custom rifle...." and it puts a smile on my face. :D With regard to barrel length, I would definitely upgrade in quality and length plus add a muzzle break. The furthest I generally shoot is 500-600 yards so the 1k mark is not really there. However I wouldn't mind joining a LR club a Rio Salado or Ben Avery. There was ONE time where I wish I had the 1k capability but the monster bull was walking AWAY from me in a valley with a couple of cows in front of him and I was on the ridge so I wouldn't have taken the shot anyway. I've owned a .338 with a KDF on it and I absolutely LOVED shooting that rifle. That's why I keep thinking about that round. I want to look at the Ackley a little more and see what the ballistics are. I really like the sound of the 7mm STW but I'll probably start a firestorm with that comment. Either way I go, I want it to be very accurate, spray and pray isn't my style. [/QUOTE]
