[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1644834, member: 93138"] Savage offers a .338 Lapua, that gives you a longer action & mag or should. Use one of those actions as the foundation. Change the bolt head (if not the whole bolt) to the 'std.' magnum bolt-face for the .300WM (though personally I'd build it in .308 Norma Mag). For a budget build I'd go with a pre-fit Pac-Nor barrel with whatever bells and whistles you want already installed/applied. I tend to prefer wood stocks for esthetics (my only composites are on MSR's & 10/22's) and for a hunting rifle I'd go with laminated. Given it being a budget build I'd use a Boyd's in the style & color of your choice. JB-Weld to anchor the pillars and bed it in Devcon AL putty (NOT their steel putty). Can hollow the butt and forearm if it goes over the weight budget. [/QUOTE]
