[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1383666, member: 41338"] I bought a Remington 783 doner gun in 308 and did a Criterion barrel as well. Made it into a 6.5x47. Finding parts and putting it together is a hoot and shooting it is even funner. With doner gun, stock, barrel, bottom metal, scope, base, rings, bipod, butt pack, sling, bolt lift knob, I guess I might have $2100 into it. Ha, ha, adding it up, it's more than I thought. I kept the original trigger as it's decent and adjustable but it's no Timney or Jewel (which they don't make anyway). It shoots pretty darn well and I tried a new load the other day and shot a 5-shot group @ 98 yards, .231" but for most accuracy loads it's closer to 1/2". Lapua brass lasts forever. I'm gonna wear this thing out! Prefits are just fun. [/QUOTE]
