[QUOTE="Spilks, post: 1536147, member: 108355"] Hello Everyone, I am new to the site and wanted to post a question regarding building a new rifle. I have always wanted to build a long range hunting rifle primarily for deer hunting and some long range shooting for pleasure. I currently have a Christiansen Arms Mesa in 300 Wing Mag with a Leupold Mark 4 6X20 scope. Most of my hunting is stationary from a shooting house or tripod stand, tree stand or ground. Most shots are 650 yards or less. I know that it is hard to build one gun that is "ideal" for all applications but I wish to try and build one that is suitable for most. I want the gun to be bolt action with a stock that is not to heavy but not so light/nimble like the CA rifle I have. It will be fitted with a bipod like the Javelin unit I currently have or an Axis. I do plan on going on west to hunt in next couple of years but most of this is for whitetail hunting in Tennessee. I am thinking of building in 300 Norma with a defiance action, lilja barrel, timney or triggertech trigger, but am open to suggestions for the above mentioned as well as stock, etc. Give me your thoughts or suggestions Much appreciated.
