[QUOTE="NISTECH95, post: 277291, member: 17176"] Thanks for the advice guys. I guess what I am really looking to do is come up with a rifle that has the capability of shooting 600-800 yrds. I am really not interested in competing at this time. I have a good friend that has a 308 savage model 12 that has had extensive work done on it and I love the way it shoots. I do have some experience handloading the 308 cartridge for hunting so that is why I thought about building a rifle of the same caliber( I shoot an old rem. 788 that my dad gave me). I have done some research on these actions and from what I understand they are a little weak, that is why I thought maybe the Savage. I am still doing my research and reading all the posts on here that I can to gain as much knowledge as I can before I jump in head first on this thing. Thanks again for all your help. [/QUOTE]
