[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 944889"] No don't worry about it. Either the .308 or .30-06 will be excellent rounds. If you're worried about an action you can always get a wal mart rem 700 ADL or SPS special for literally 375 dollars. You sell the barrel, stock, and trigger and use the recouped money to true up the action to start your build. They are at the academy in round rock texas for that much and at my wal mart in central Missouri. Also, if you check the classifieds there are a bunch for sale in the parts section. I think bobcat sniper has some for like 375 or 400 for sale. Also with barrel weight I have to disagree. If you want long range performance the heavier the barrel the better. I would go no less than a 22-24" inch long, remington varmint contour. It should finish right at .800 at the muzzle +/-. The heavy/shorter barrel keeps harmonics in sync so the vibrations do not affect the bullet as much as its traveling down the barrel. Not saying a sporter contour won't shoot bc they will.
