[QUOTE="trebark, post: 810430, member: 19172"] When it comes to choosing between a Tac300 or Rem700, the difference in cost is minimal. Because the cost of blueprinting a Rem700 action + the cost of the action is about the same as buying a Tac300. The place where the advantage goes to the Tac300 is if you ever want to sell the action/rifle. The Tac300 will retain its value better. Also, even with a 13lb weight restriction, I think you can go with a heavier profile barrel than a #5 and still be able to stay within your weight limit. The only other recommendation I would make for your build would be to consider a Jewell trigger rather than a Timney. I've used them both and really prefer the Jewell. The rifle you are building is similar to my rifles: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/[/url] [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-300rum-mcr-70809/#post494570[/url] [/QUOTE]
