[QUOTE="bdyal1972, post: 739422, member: 50039"] I would like to build a EXTREMELY long range rifle around the berger .284 180 grain vld. 3200fps transsonic over 2000 meters.... This rifle will be for hunting and target shooting as well as fun! I have experience with 300smk's in the 338 lapua and 208amx-210berger-220smk and 240smk's in the 300win and 30-378. I am looking to make a rifle that shoots as flat or flatter than above without as much recoil. A 180 grain bullet in a 7mm is a LOT less recoil than a 300 in a 338 lapua! Have any of you built such a rifle? What case? What action? I am thinking the Surgeon Magnum action as I am planning on a 30"-32" barrel Open to suggestions... Must be a repeater. What magazine... Open to suggestions. Barrel? I am thinking an ABS carbon wrapped to keep weight down. Stock? I am partial to Bell and Carlson's and how they fit me. I believe in bedding blocks. Also open to bull pups and tube guns... Weight should be no more than 14-15 lbs max... gun) [/QUOTE]
