[QUOTE="riverrat13, post: 1498026, member: 100921"] Looking for a little expert help. I have had a couple custom rifles, but they were used rifles I picked up from LRH or similar sites, however, this will will be my first venture into my own build. I am looking for a "do it all", or as close as one can come, rifle for hunting big game in North America (Grizzly and Moose excluded). I have settled on my caliber, 280 AI, and would like to stay under 9lbs bare. With that said, I am still looking for some advice on the rest of my build. - What custom action should I go with? Lone Peak, Stiller, Defiance, Curtis, etc... - I am a big Bartlien fan, so I am sticking with them for this build. I am thinking light palma or 3b contour.? What twist rate would you recommend for a 280 AI with the heavier 7mm bullets? - A part of me wants to go chassis route. A lot of chassis options available in the 3lb range, XLR Evo, MPA Lite, KRG X-Ray. And it is hard to beat the adjust-ability of a chassis. If I don't go the chassis route, I will go with a Manners EH1A w/Mini-Chassis. I really don't want to go the bedded stock route. Thoughts and opinions? [/QUOTE]
