[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 164045, member: 4683"] I think the 6.5 wsm would be an awesome round -good brass easy to neck down one size etc.. Personally i'd just pick out the componenets that would give me a good shooting longrange rig and roll out -if it is a little heavy that will pay dividends when you're squeezing the trigger on a distant blacktail buck. The components can be a donor rifle [rem 700] have it rebarreled or a custom action that cost $750-$1200.As w/ anything the sky is the limit. If you give a dollar figure what you want to spend you'll definately get some good combinations for a parts list. Also having a bullet or at least a bullet type in mind will help w/ barrel twist and action length decisions. A long action will work better if you want to shoot the long for caliber VLD type bullets like the bergers/amax/wildcats. Myself i'd go w/a long action rem 700 squared up blueprinted, a hs precision stock , # 5 fluted broughton or rockcreek barrel w/ canted land rifling -1 - 8 twist will shoot the heavy high BC bullets. Get all the parts teflon coated -since you're in a wet region. Zeiss 4.5x 14-44. Just an opinion good luck -Mike [/QUOTE]
