[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 738801, member: 13833"] Welcome to the forum! I built a long range rifle on a #1 and it turned out pretty well. Mine was a 300 RUM with a 30" Lilja and was around a .3 to .4" shooter. A 375 has been a little limited for good long range bullet selection in the past, but that may be changing? If you build it, I would suggest putting an aluminum pillar in the tang screw hole for proper bedding. This is the only recoil point there is and is quite important. I built a long screw driver that could be used with a ratchet and tightened it until it squeaked! I also put a little bedding compound where the stock and action fit together. Some shooters put a pressure screw on the forend, but I didn't find that to be necessary. The good thing about a #1 is that it will be 4" shorter than a bolt with the same barrel length. I currently have a build on a Browning 78 which is similar......Rich [/QUOTE]
