[QUOTE="trebark, post: 232530, member: 19172"] Longshot gave you the Cadillac option, I'll give you the Buick option.... Start with a Remington SPS. They come in various 7mm and 30 caliber magnums. 1. Choose a good scope and mounts. Take the rifle out and shoot it. If it shoots, great. If not, continue working. 2. Float the barrel and get a decent stock like HS Precision or Bell and Carlson. 3. Trigger Job - have the factory trigger tuned to somewhere between 2 and 3 pounds. Shoot the rifle. If it'll shoot, great. If not, continue working.... 4. Send the rifle off to a good smith and have a custom barrel installed and have the action trued up. I chose Hart Rifle Barrels in New York ([url=http://www.hartbarrels.com/]Hart Rifle Barrels[/url]). They turn their own barrels, chamber, install and true your action for a reasonable price. Shoot the rifle. It'll shoot now. Costs: Rifle: $500 Scope and Mounts: $500+ Stock: $150 - $300 Trigger Job: $65 Barrel and action job: $600 Total ~ $1900 [/QUOTE]
