[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 708185, member: 55944"] I just bought a used savage 14 in 300wsm and a leupold vx3 4.5-14x40LR scope. The rifle is supposed to arrive this weekend and I want to build a long range rifle that will use the 300wsm to its full potential. I have never built a rifle before and I am on a budget so it will be a process. I have $600 now and would like to know in what order I should upgrade parts for the best gains in accuracy. I would guess the best gain would be to change the Barrel first? What barrel Shilen, Douglas is there another good affordable barrel maker? What profile? Shilen has varmint s7 = .85" at muzzle and bull which is 1" at muzzle. This rifle will spend most of its life in the prone shooting position so weight is not the issue. What twist rate for long range 1in 10"? With the barrel should I upgrade the recoil lug from 1/8" to 1/4"? What about a muzzle brake? Who makes a good one? What stock would you recommend? What bases and rings? Are the twist in Leupold's accurate? Should I keep them? Thanks for any advice you can offer!
