Okay, so I have lurked here for over a year trying to figure out what to build. Figure I will jump in and see if I can build a LR gun I can be pleased with. Still have not decided if I am going the .308 or 300 WM. Would like to shoot game out to 500 and target out to 1k
Action – figure I would go the Savage route. However all the long actions that I have been looking at seem to have about a ¼ - ½ inch plan when the bolt is all the way back
The guy's behind the counter look at me when I comment on how much play there is in the action. Am I being too picky?? Found two Savages under $450 as my base gun.
11FYPX3 - $300 currently barreled for a 243
111FCXP - $450 currently barreled for a 30-06
Was thinking on the Savage 111FCNS or ordering a Stevens 200.
I also have access to a Remington 770 that my dad bought and just hates. It has a yard of play in the action. Not sure if there is any mods that can be done to tighten it up.
Any help in spending my money would be appreciated. OH.. if my wife asks… this gun is for her…
