[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 3060, member: 8947"] From what I have read, sounds like a Browning A bolt in the 300WSM will fill your bill. A Sako, Savage, Rem 700, Win 70 in 300win mag will do the same thing. I am guessing that when you mean hunting accurate, you mean 100% hits on a milk jug at max distance with a bullet that will put a quick end to your hunt. Load up the 300WSM or Win mag with some Hornady SST 165 or 180. Work up an accurate load which should be straight forward, and have at it. I have found the SST's to be as accurate as match bullets...my new bullet of choice. For a custom job, any US production action will work. Get a reasonable barrel (Midway, Montana Riflemen, ER Shaw through to match guys like Lilja, Hart, Pac Nor, etc) properly installed and chambered (specify a short throat), fit the whole thing to a laminated or composite stock (don't know your build so you will have to try a few for fit) and burn powder. The cal. choice would stay the same. Stick with a 24" barrel in a standard to heavy sporter contour. Not a big fan of fluting as it is one more thing that can screw up an otherwise great barrel. Remove the weight by turning the barrel. I hope, you are not planning on shooting more then 4 rds at your intended target. If so, a sporter weight barrel is more then stiff enough for the accuracy you seek. Have fun... Jerry [/QUOTE]
