[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 770825, member: 12995"] My vote would be a 26" M24 or Sendero contour barrel with an 11* recessed match crown chambered for .280 Ackley Improved 40* shoulder will be perfect for what you want (wicked whitetail & elk round, too), properly trued action threads and raceway, true and lap bolt lugs, square the bolt face, Jard or Jewel trigger (I am ordering a Jard in the next few weeks for my 5R MilSpec .308), stock is up to you, but HS Precision, McMillan, JP Enterprises, Manners, AICS, etc... will all do the job, and the glass is up to you, but for a true contending 1000 yard rig, I'd go Nighforce NXS 8-32x56 with the MOAR reticle, bolted down to the action with an EGW HD 20MOA base, and TPS HD Aluminum 30mm Med rings. That would be my perfect setup, with a JP Enterprises Benchrest Chassis system. Ad as a matter of fact, that WILL be my next build, if I have the money to do the JP chassis and NF scope...If not, I might have to do with what I can for now, then add those later when money permits.
