[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 305174, member: 951"] Knowing what I know now, I'd start with the bullet I intended to use, do your homework, figure what velocity you need to give you the energy needed to take the intended game. That decision will give you the choices of cartridges to chamber it in. barrel twist, length, and contour then pick an action designed to, or modified to reliably feed and fire that cartridge. why a custom action? I can see it with the big jugs, but for running most cartridges a well accurised 700 action will serve you as well as a stillerpredator. then just keep figuring, how far will you be shooting, how many MOA of scope adjustment will you need? Narrow it down to what you need to accomplish what your goals are, ask ?'s from guys who have been there. Before I came here I spent alot of money that would gain me 50 yards, sometimes not. I was stuck at 500 yards for years, 5 years later I took a whitetail at 1350 yards and I give all the credit to the guys who post here. Good luck. RR [/QUOTE]
