[QUOTE="tomtom, post: 256994, member: 14822"] Hey guys, I posted a few weeks ago regarding advice on actions. I was finally able to track down an older win. model 70 in .300 win mag for a reasonable price and now I'm getting ready to start the process. Next order of business is picking a barrel. My smith has a preference for Hart barells and from what I can tell they appear to be excellent. I'm going to have a 7wsm built and ultimately I'd like the rifle to weight between 12 and 14lbs with scope. The rifle will be used for pigs and whitetails most likely not exceeding 800 yards and more likely closer to 4-500 yards. This all may seem a bit overbore but I definitely envision some trips to Africa in the future plus, thats the way I like it. My main question is, what contour should I go with to get me in that weight range? Oh and the scope is undecided at this point but I imagine it will be something like the larger Leupolds or Nightforces. Thanks, Thomas [/QUOTE]
