[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 11630, member: 1920"] HI Johnson, You would not need to go custom for what you want. Savage makes a heavy bareled-left hand.308 which is capable of sub 1moa. The .308 round is an awesome round and is every bit as accurate as the 7mmwm but I would not recommend taking Elk at over 500 yds. O.k I'm going to have some fun. here is what I would do,I would buy the Savage model 12flv for around $500 and would shoot it to my hearts content then I would re-barrel to 7mmsaum with a Broughton or Krieger barrel and put a Mcmillan A2 stock on it. There are all kinds of after market modifications,like easily changed out tactical bolt handle.(You don't have to worry about ripping off soldered on bolt handles) also several after market triggers and the action is easy to blueprint.The only thing I like better then shooting my rifles ...is building them [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] last Sunday I shot my 7mmwsm and am still in disbelief.....at 700 yds my first 3-shot group measured 1.500. I was shooting through my crony and the ES was 16 fps. Then I shot a 4-shot group at the same range and it measured 2" needless to say I still have a grin on my face. Oh, BTW I built that on a Savage action [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] have fun, 308nate [/QUOTE]
