[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 1036417, member: 14894"] Here are a few things you have to give 100% consideration to. If you do not think these things through thoroughly you will screw up and have something you can't use for your intended purpose. In order 1. Weight of entire rig 2. Barrel Twist rate 3. Throat length Get the wrong throat length and you won't be able to shoot long enough bullets or your bullets will be too long for the mag length. If you don't get a fast enough twist you won't stabilize the intended bullets. And above all if you get a rifle that is too heavy you will never make it to your hunting spot or won't be able to shoot free handed or out of a stand accurately (just made this mistake myself). If it's a bipod or box stand gun and you build one too light, you left some on the table that could have been added to make it more accurate and stable. I didn't mention caliber because there are numerous calibers that can be used for most applications in capable hands [/QUOTE]
