[QUOTE="westernsky, post: 343468, member: 22315"] I am a new member that is planning on building a LR rifle. I am a longtime hunter that has used a factory rifle, muzzleloader, and bows. Long range hunting looks like a challenge i want to try now. I want to build a rifle capable of taking elk to 1000 yrds, shoot marmots way off in the summer, shoot some coyotes and maybe shoot at some local competitions. I will not be shooting at elk beyond a yardage at which i can hit a 6" circle 1st shot every time. That may be 600 to start and I have to learn to shoot to 1000. I would like experianced opinions of my proposed setup before I build. I researched to end up where Im at but I could be off on something. The plan; Stiller predator RBRP LA mag bolt action why-custom action that wont cost much more than a trued 700 or savage but will hold value better 7mm STW with 168 berger hunting VLD's why-high BC,flat shooting round that should kick in a heavier gun. plenty of energy to do what I need Hart stainless straight 26" #7 varmit contour barrel 1 in 9 twist with fluting, bead blasted,brake why- quality heavy barrel that looks good, fluting to cut some weight, brake to keep recoil light timney 700 trigger w/safety at 1.5# why-quality trigger but less then others and i shouldnt need pull measured in oz's wyatt extended magazine Bell and carlson varmit/tactical stock with adj cheek and butt, pillar bedded why-available now, adjustable,like the looks (does the aluminum bedding block mess up the pillar bedding process?) barrel fitted and action bedded by local gunsmith, Dan Dowling Accurate Gunsmithing why-less time than sending action in, listed on 6mmbr.com as quality smith Huskemaw 5-20 LR scope with RFBC turrets Am I off on anything? What else do I need to consider or change. I would like to end up with a 1/2 moa setup. Thanks Justin [/QUOTE]
