[QUOTE="Canhunter35, post: 1428750, member: 101677"] IMO you’re comparing apples to oranges a bit. With the 700 action you’re doing the works the tikka you plan on a barrel swap. You should have 3.7” mag to work with, a tikka just isn’t your best bet for a 300win mag. A bolt can be fluted and different handle installed later. I would have an action blue printed, barrel chambered and threaded for brake and cerakote everything as the essentials. It’s good stuff and great for bad weather. But it all adds up. As for a trigger, I really like my Calvin elite, I would go for 700 or 700 clone and run one of those. How you’re describing your funds and needing a rifle by fall, buy the Mesa and upgrade it later. Get the stock, trigger, barrel you want when funds allow, until then shoot the heck out of it. Another option is a b14 and upgrade as you go. You don’t want a sporter stock, what about a b14 hmr, vertical grip, then change the barrel to a cf down the road and cut weight? [/QUOTE]
