[QUOTE="Savagekid, post: 675460, member: 48535"] I just picked up a Savage 110 long action for a build project I am starting up. I'm trying to do it as cheap as possible (hard for long range shooting) so I'm looking for some advice. Anyone have some suggestions for a barrel/caliber that isn't too crazy expensive? I'm looking for a 7mm rm or a 7mm stw but am open to other suggestions. I want to keep the length to 24-26 and have a medium to heavy barrel. The gun is going to be a hunting gun so I don't want to have the entire thing weigh more than 9 or 10 pounds. Also any stock/scope options would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I have picked out so far. Feel free to let me know if any of this is good or garbage for a budget rifle. 110 action with accutrigger McGowen barrel stainless #4 or #5 contour Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP (overkill??) Stockade Hunting Sporter I was also thinking about eventually getting a muzzle break. I like the reviews on the mini magnum muscle break but have no idea as to what crown I should get on the barrel if I plan to put a break on. Any and all advice/opinions are welcome! [/QUOTE]
