[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2186750, member: 1951"] I‘m torn and on no particular deadline, so I’m the community for help spec’ it a new build. I hunt mostly mule deer in open country in Montana. I’ve been known to hunt Antelope and really want to try a walk in backcountry elk hunt. I have a full selection of calibers: 350 Legend, 6.5x55, 300 Sherman, 300 WSM, and 458 Lott. I’m thinking sell the 300 WSM and/or the 6.5x55 to fund this build. The only thing I have for the build is a Bighorn Long Action with std bolt face on order and a Timney HVR trigger. As a side note, bolt faces are interchangeable on this action. Given that, what are the logical builds? If the 300 Sherman is the elk/big rifle, where do I go below that?....or do I get a bigger 30 like a 30 Sherman Magnum? Smaller is nice as it would be better to try some local PRS stuff, but it still needs to be able to take a long reach Antelope... Help me spec this build....I feel like caliber needs set first, but maybe I should be thinking stock first due to lead time. [/QUOTE]
