[QUOTE="Crazy Canuck, post: 187592, member: 10398"] talked to him last night...said same thing...give it to him for recrown, trigger, bedding and then go shoot it from there...if it doesn't shoot then back to him for barrel and asked him about trueing action and he said maybe if a new barrel is needed but with the long action he wasn't too concerned about that part of it?... anyhow, i have a nice little tikka .270 lam/ss tikka that shoots pretty good with factory...in field conditions i can keep 3 real quick under 2moa to 500 yrds with fusion 130 gr factory ammo(1st two are right on the bull only a few inches apart then i get a wide one that opens up to about 9")...and it weights 7 lb 15 ounces unloaded with leupy rings/bases and 3-9x40 burris ff2 scope with bp reticle....so i'm thinking if i swap stock for a synthetic i can save 11.5 ounces (i hand weighed both)...and then get some talley lightweight rings and a leupy ultralight 3-9x33 with long range reticle(4.2 ounce lighter than burris) then i'll have a pretty decent pack rig (under 7lb all in) that won't need to cost me too much to get there, doesn't hit too hard etc. etc. the whole reason i want another gun and a bit more precision if for static hunting over farmland/big areas/crops (1/4 section type stuff) so i might as well not worry about weight of gun much (was thinking i could do away with the tikka and have one gun to do it all?...but thats gonna be a pain)....really leaning to a sendero at this point...still tossing on the caliber...not sure if i'm really going to be able to go hard core enough to shoot to 1000 yrds reliably (smith wants me to shoot competitions etc. to see what everyone is doing and how they are doing it...i'm not that hardcore) so if i can get to 7-800 with some confidence (for hunting...in kill zone of whitetail doe type confidence) then i'll be happy...if i go 30 cal then i'll brake it but if i stick to 7mm rm i probably won't which will keep things even simpler for me....rum maybe?....but in that case i'm really liking the 168 vld's and not sure what cartridge could push those to about 3100 fps?...if the rem mag will then thats what i'll get...if gotta go to the rum then thats maybe what i'll get?...i'll search more here and see what speeds people are getting with the vld's in the various 7mm's?... thanks for help on this one, i'm getting closer to picking up a gun to get started with...the optics?....not sure yet...wouldn't be surprised if i tried a couple until i find what i like there...hopefully for my wallet sake i don't have to do the same for guns lol....this sh.t is addicting!
