[QUOTE="RidgeReaper208, post: 1832583, member: 56638"] Your strongest link is only as good as your weakest link, if your going to do this...do it right and start strong with a shooting platform that will support what you are trying to accomplish. Mass Produced rifles have there place in this world but your going to be disappointed with a Browning, Ruger, Savage, Remington, etc. These companies use decent components but your going to have to have a gunsmith bed the action/barrel, adjust or replace the trigger, modify or replace the stock, thread the barrel, etc. This all adds up and the amount of time and energy to get all of this accomplished could be saved by purchasing a “custom” from Fierce, CA, Cooper, Hells Canyon Armory, etc. like everything else in this world, you get what you pay for and when you start modifying a rifle because it lacks what I’ve previously mentioned it does not always guarantee the results your wanting to achieve. My 300 RUM is a Montana Rifle Company X2 that I’ve had bedded and developed a load that it likes and shoots .5 MOA. Gun, Scope weighs roughly 10lbs My 300 PRC is a Fierce CT Edge that shoots Hornady factory ammo .5 MOA. Gun, Scope weighs 8lbs. Both have muzzle breaks and 50mm objective optics....the RUM kicks like a 30-06, the PRC kicks like a 6.5 Creedmore. Find someone who has these calibers and shoot them....find what you like and then go buy which ever caliber you enjoyed shooting most. There is enough info in this thread to get an idea of how to move forward with your build. Opinions are based on experience and since you don’t have experience with either of these calibers, go and form your own with what has been provided here! GOOD LUCK! [/QUOTE]
