[QUOTE="mooretitan, post: 951362, member: 79147"] Get to pick up my new savage model 11 hunter 243 (cabelas special) to start my first build. I have been doing a lot of reading and research and think I am on the right track. I am going to stick with the 260(a caliber that I dont have) and try to get out to 600yards and if all goes well I will do another build next year to reach out to a 1000. I am going to pretty much replace everything on the gun. I want to stay around 10lbs. This will be a target/hunting rig Stock - Bell and Carlson Medalist New recoil lug New bolt handle New Trigger New Criterion Barrel (not sure which size/weight to get) Dura Coat (not sure the color yet) Laupa Brass - 200rounds Barnes LRX (127gr) I have to go copper(try to push around 2800-2900fps) Loaded with either 4350 or 4831. I have lots of different powders on hand to try if something works better. Nikon 6.5-18 I know there is a wealth of knowledge and have been reading most it but if anyone has any pointers or suggestions that would be great. Thanks. I also picked up a 300win mag model 11 and if all goes well will turn it into a 1000yard gun [/QUOTE]
