[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 910785, member: 2736"] The 300 RUM is a fine choice for what you want to use it for and you will not be disappointed in it's performance. I am a huge Lilja Fan and you cant go wrong with one of his barrels. With the length you want, I would recommend a #4 (Less that 8 oz difference in the weight of the #2 contour) and save that weight somewhere else. (Scope, stock. rings and bases ETC). It is true that the custom action has a better re-sale value but I will tell you first hand, you will never get what you have in a custom rifle if you try to sell it No matter what action you use. I try to tell everyone to plan on keeping a custom rifle so build what you want. A custom action does not mean it will automatically shoot better. There is some pride in owning a custom action so that choice is yours. ON the trigger issue I have used all of the factory triggers and most, if not all of the after market triggers , And I can find no finer trigger than the Jewell. Just my opinion for what its worth.
