[QUOTE="Dust270WSM, post: 1142027, member: 18096"] I recently got my grandpa's old rem 700 30-06. It's justa simple adl model. Also it has some rust and pitting on the action and bolt. What I wanna do is see if I send it to a gunsmith if they can take care of the pitting and rust? Figured they could clean up and ceracoat? What I want is to do a build up using my grandpa's action to build into a deer rifle. Not like a Rem Sendero, that's to heavy and long. I am wanting to make it similar to a Savage Predator. Where it is mildly heavy barreled but only approx. 22" long. Where I can hunt in the timber or spot and stalk but if I needed to make a 400-600 yard shot or longer it could. 1st---what gunsmith would yall use that's affordable? Don't wanna spend thousands but figured I would spend $1500 approx. 2nd--What caliber would yall pick...I'm thinking 280 AI...or a 6.5 something? [/QUOTE]
