[QUOTE="liltank, post: 340092, member: 13275"] Hornady make a 250grn BTHP with a BC of .675. I would not hesitate to use this bullet. From all accounts, they open well and shoot very well. As far as custom gun for decent money, I whole heartily agree with MR, but you could also look at Savage target actions. I truly believe it makes a very good LM. I know because I have shot one that produced a 5" 3shot group at 1050yrds for its first flight to that distance. Choate super sniper stock, savage target action, Douglas 32" 1:10" barrel, EGW base, Bushnell elite 4200 Tactical, Burris XTR Rings. Total package is right around $2000. You don't have to blue print and time a Savage action. You can just change the bolt head. Yes I know the target action is a short action, but it will eject a spent casing without any problems. If you have a loaded round you will need to pull the bolt. He has about 300+ rnds thru it without any issues. Here is another option: [url=http://www.snipercentral.com/entrypackage.htm]Entry Level Howa Tactical Package[/url] [url=http://www.snipercentral.com/rementrypack.phtml]Entry Level Remington Tactical Package[/url] You might be able to get them to cut you a Lapua chamber. Never hurts to ask. You could buy the Howa or the Savage 116 w/ break in 338WM and rechamber to Lapua. That would be cheaper than rebarreling. You could then spend the money on glass, and good muzzle break. It will only be a 24" barrel, but give you something to start with. Just an idea. Tank [/QUOTE]
