[QUOTE="trebark, post: 671063, member: 19172"] You've made one decision in cartridge choice. 260 is a great cartridge. (I have one... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/[/URL] ) Next decisions: Purpose for rifle: 'carry gun' that's long range capable, dedicated longrange hunter, or like mine, tactical rifle that doubles as longrange hunter. From that decision, will drive other decisions: barrel contour, type of stock, optics etc. In terms of saving a few $$, as I said before, start with a Savage action. Prefit barrels are inexpensive and installing the barrel you can do yourself with some specific tools - barrel nut wrench and go gauge. I am sure if you search youtube you will be able to find a 'how-to' video. As for everything else, it sounds as though you can/have done them already - install trigger, bed action etc. [/QUOTE]
