[QUOTE="Will Gray, post: 1644887, member: 65116"] Too many options to address. First what game at what range? My hunting rifle this year is a Remington 700 short action using a PTG barrel nut with a good stock and a 358 Winchester barrel with muzzle brake. Will use it for deer, elk, feral hogs and such. Lilja barrel is giving .5 MOA. I threaded and chambered it myself (first time for me). If you have access to a lathe, Shilen will sell you a barrel blank in your caliber for about $200. They sent me one in three days! If you found a cheap Ruger American somewhere and put your choice of barrel on it, would be low cost. Also use a PTG barrel nut on one of those in 308. VERY accurate.
