[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 173346, member: 8843"] The action you have is a great base for an accurate build , as for the chambering , well since its a single shot it realy doesen't matter how long the round is , you can make it a 300 RUM if you want. I actualy know of a 300RUM built on a Rem 700 short action , the bolt has to be pulled to remove a live round but other than that it works great. 1) yep the action is fine for that round. Why that round though? 2) you can make it a full 1.35" barrel if you like , in fact I would recomend that you set the barrel up with a shoulder like the Rem does rather than with the barrel nut system 3) Three groove barrels work great for hotter rounds as they tend to last a little longer due to the larger land size but this extra land size is very hard on the thin jacket LR bullet and will tend to make them blow up I have never seen or heard of anybody that was happy with a Pac-nor Poly rifled barrel , I would look else where. The shilen Ratchet is said to be good but I personaly don't care for either of these barrel makers as their barrels tend to be soft. I would look at Lilja , Broughton , Rock Creek or Kreiger. 4) have never delt with Fred's laminated stocks but everything else he deals with is of decient quality , if you like a laminated I'd call Joel Russo he is a member here and make an A-5 clone out of many differant colors of laminates , his customer service is top notch as his stocks 5) theirs nothing wrong with the Lupy your looking at it will serve you well But if you can swing the price of the IOR they are better scopes , most Guys here like the scopes with larger "tactical" style adjustment dials as they are a bit faster to adjust when hunting big game where shots are dialed in upon ranging , not realy needed on a dog town.
