[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 149318, member: 5"] 1: Great choice 2: Great choice. I went with a Nesika but the choice is yours. 3: Lilja is good but check with Kirby on land/groove configuration and dimensions. There are other brands that would work also. Kirby can fill you in on whatever you are thinking about. 4: If you're happy with it then it'll probably work o.k. 5: I wouldn't have a 2 oz. trigger on a "hunting" gun if you paid me to. If you're just building it to shoot and play with, then the weight is up to you but for me 2 oz. would still be a little heavy even in a play gun. 6: Wouldn't have one on a gun I was going to shoot. I don't like dirt in my eyes. Go with a Holland or one of Shawn's brakes. They'll work just as well, and probably a lot better, and you won't have a dust storm with each shot. 7: You may or may not get by with a 40 moa base. It depends on what you use for a zero range and what happens when you put all of your "steel" together and try and sight it in. I've got a 20 moa base on mine and wish I'd put 30 on it. 40 would put me bottomed out to zero the way I like and I won't bottom out my scope adjustment. With my steel, 30 would work and I'd not be bottomed out. 8: Never used them but a lot of people do. I went with Nightforce rings. 9: Nightforce 12-42 = 45 moa elev. 5.5-22 = 100 moa elev. Guess which I went with??? I have at times used all of the scopes elevation plus the scopes hash marks when playing with dangerous rocks way out there and wish I'd had some more besides what the scope has. 10: Whatever you can pack and whatever makes you happy. If you're not hunting with it then weight is not an issue. I've shot from 160 Accubonds at 3500-3600 fps on up to the 200 gr. Wildcats at up to 3350 fps.
