[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1594325, member: 69192"] Thanks for the good wishes on the build and the hunt. I "almost" went with the .280AI, originally the .280AI Wildcat was what the specs were for the build when I sent them to the gunsmith. I've always had a fondness for the .270 Winchester and figured that getting a little bit more out of the caliber would make the round even better. Three weeks after I sent the specs I called the gunsmith and asked if it were possible to change the caliber from .280AI to .270AI. He said he was uncertain because the barrels had already been ordered however he would try. He called back and told me that he was able to change the calibers. And....I've been in a foot cast since January 30th., researching and ordering some of the measuring and concentricity tools has helped occupy my time and [I][U]credit card[/U][/I]. If the gunsmith had not been able to change the calibers, I would have been quite happy with the .280AI Wildcat. The primary plan for the rifle it to deer hunt at 300-600 yards, so either caliber would work just fine; and.... I wanted a unique wildcat rifle to load for. [/QUOTE]
