[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2389309, member: 1951"] You are heading down a pretty good path. Might want better rings. I would do Warne bases and rings myself. +1 on the custom action upgrade, unless you have a Rem 700 collecting dust. Rem 700 is an ok base for a build, unless you want/need to spend money improving it. Then it is a bottomless pit. Look at the Bighorn Origin LA….$925 comes with scope base. I would look into a Shilen Remage from NSS before I gave X caliber my money. Maybe they are great today, but that has not always been true. Triggers seem to be a personal decision and personally I like Timney & Jewell. MBM made me a great brake and they bore for each caliber. EC Tuner is another option. It may allow better accuracy from tuning. The stock you have picked seems fine, but eats up a lot of budget. B&C makes fine stocks priced from $300-$450. The are very stiff….aluminum backbone and Fit up well with some bedding. The only negative is you have to pay your smith to put in flush cups and/or any rails you want. Don’t forget to order a custom lop, if the std is’t going to be right for you. [/QUOTE]
