[QUOTE="JeffRaines, post: 1845790, member: 107623"] I'm open to any suggestions - I believe a blueprinted 700 from PTG can be had cheaper than a true custom but like I said, I'm in no rush to complete this build... I'm just getting together a parts list for now, then I can start slowly checking off the boxes once everything has been decided. I do want to hunt with the rifle, so I'd like it to end up somewhere between 9-10lbs unscoped. I figure that'll put it around 12lbs scoped up. Definitely not a sheep hunting rifle, but it'd be great for hunts where long shots are anticipated/possible. Probably not going to be gaining 3000 feet every day on a hunt like that. I also don't want it to be too light because... you know... 300RUM/245gr. I was thinking 26" barrel(either sendero or light palma) 8 twist. Probably gonna keep it steel. MBM or CA brake AG Adjustable stock TT primary Wyatts 4" box [/QUOTE]
