[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1336424, member: 95079"] My original idea was to build a .260 Rem. that was kinda before the recent creedmore hype, I was going the "low end" route off of a savage action and just a barrel swap. Then life happened and now I have 2 little girls. So I just rebarreled to a nicer .308 barrel since I have all the supplies for shooting and loading .308. I ended up building the .260 for my dad and it shoot excellent, but I built it on a left handed action and thumb hole stock. He's not interested in taking it way out, and it's the most uncomfortable rifle I've ever shot because of the wrong handed stock. So I never got to play with it at distance. My second thought was .300 WM but I've never messed with the belted mags. Obviously it can't be that hard because of the numerous rifles that shoot it phenomenal. I also only had a short action so that was another consideration, I would have needed a long action. This one however will be from scratch. Thanks for the insighe, and it's right in line with my thoughts as well.! [/QUOTE]
