[QUOTE="trebark, post: 511763, member: 19172"] Here's my input.... Stock - be sure to add an adjustable cheekpiece or get a stock that has one. Action - if you are budget minded, is a Rem700 action less expensive? Whichever way you go, remember to get an oversize bolt knob of some sort. Barrel - if you're potentially going with Broughton, why not a 5C? That is their 'best' barrel. Also consider going with 1:8 or 1:7 so that you can shoot the heavier bullets. You make some substantial gains in BC by going with the 100+ grain bullets Trigger - go with 1.5lbs rather than 2 Recoil Lug - get a Holland Scope - great choice! do not economize here. Mounts - to economize even further, go with Burris Signature Rings and bases. they are much less expensive and rock solid. They are all I use on my rifles.
