Looking at doing a Bighorn SR3 in the following year. Will be chambered in 28 Nosler. Will end up replacing my Savage Ultralite. Build for hunting.
Would say long range, but the more I thought about it I would also be using in timber and for bear. Possibly work up lighter slower loads for even whitetail. Around 270 speeds.
Any input others have about this action?
Options I should go for?
Stick with the SR3 or go with other action to have aics mags over a Wyatt extended internal. Which I assume I can get at least 2 28 Nosler in the internal box.
What should I be looking at for safety / Trigger setups?
What about bottom metal?
Stock options been looking at AG Composites for a stock. Probably the Alpine Hunter at 30oz. Adding a Spartan Javelin Pro Hunter adapter and bipod into the stock.
Probably going with a Proof Barrel Blank and having teamed for 195 Berger's
Anything I am missing here?
I think I read they offer a .mil incentive? Turn around seems to be around 10weeks.
Otherwise should I save up and go with a TI action? What are the downfalls here? I get it's a 10oz weight savings with something like the razor to or Defient. I can see issues from being too light though. In the end if I am sub 8 with scope and muzzle break I am golden. Seems to be my perfect weight for shooting and is perfectly packable. Want durability, reliability, accuracy over going lower. But would be nice to have a package with a can that is 8lbs too.
