[QUOTE="Bluebeemer, post: 53064, member: 1216"] Boattail -- If you are not locked into the rifles and caliber you posted, the information I have absorbed here has caused me to go with a 308 Win to start out with. The reloading info is endless from these guys and helps to reduce work-up for your own rifle. As far as rifles, Rem 700 VS gives you a good starter and the base for something more customized later. The Sendaro is the same basic rifle in long action for the magnum calibers. Jay's trigger adjustment instructions are easy to follow and result in a reliable/safe trigger. Although not as popular with the custom rifle shooters, another option is the Savage Model 10FP or 12FV with the new accu-trigger. Right out of the box they are hard to beat. The 12FVSS & BVSS are also available in the magnum calibers. If you want some custom work later, Sharpshooters Supply does some amazing things with Savages (so do other places-PacNor, Shilen, etc.). Good luck ... Mike [/QUOTE]
