[QUOTE="HntWhtTail, post: 699744, member: 38547"] So I have been working on my first dedicated long range rifle this year, project was supposed to be budget long range build..Originally I was going to convert my old 25/06 into a 6.5 sherman.. but I procrastinated, as I do and then tripped on a good deal at a local pawn shop that got me started down a different path. I picked up a savage model 10 with accu trigger in 300wsm, then started ordering parts. Build consists of: Savage 10 $300 Bell and Carlson Medalist $227 McGowan 28" stainless $375 varmint contour Stainless recoil lug $28 Stainless Trigger guard $23 Weaver tactical base $20 Warne 30mm rings $40 Leupold MK4 3.5 10 $675(ebay) 100 Norma 270wsm brass $110 box of 140 vlds $35 box of 140 nosler ABs $35 Had barrel put head spaced $50 Sold factory barrel and stock on ebay $-50 Grand total, $1850 not couting primer or powder cause i have lots of that sitting around. Accu trigger is breaking clean at 3lbs and will probably get replaced or adjusted. Groups are already starting to break the .5 inch mark at 100 with the accubonds, the bergers are a little more picky I have got a few groups under an inch. velocity is creeping past 3300 with primers just starting to flatten out, I can deffintaly go faster but the accuracy with the hotter loads isnt there (yet) I will probably replace the bolt head with one from PTG. All this for that one shot in a spot I have been hunting my whole life and didnt know I could shoot cause its 650-750 yards and I never thought i could...Stay tuned for more range results, and hopefully a picture of a dead deer.......
