[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1502067, member: 104167"] I know the allure of a custom rifle and if you have the money go for it. I just purchased a Remington 5R Long Range with 26" barrel for long Range shooting. They have two nice versions with 24" Barrels but I wanted the weight and added inches to eek out velocity. I wanted to build a semi-custom gun on a budget. It is pretty easy these days to get a 5/8 inch or even a 1/2 inch grouping gun out of a factory rifle these days. I wanted to put a Timney Calvin elite trigger in it and I threaded the barrel for a muzzle brake and put on a custom tactical boolt knob. I hate to admit it but the remington 700 stainless action with the machine turned bolt is one of the smoothest actions out there (in THAT configuration). I built a .243 with a PTG custom action, Shilen Ultra match Barrel, Timney Trigger, stockys stock and it shoots great, but not really a secret, you still need to find the right ammo. Its all about harmonics. Anyway, I am attaching a video of my friend shooting my 300 with a JP Enterprises recoil eliminator Tank break. Once you try that brake the ugly starts to go away. I also have the JP 3 port compensator whicjh is nearly as good but looks slick. I also found a Brake for $12 on ebay, YEAH $12. It is a knock off of the Jerry Miculek DPMS brake but with added 2 jet ports on top and it is in a close 3rd place.
