[QUOTE="Bronc1, post: 1275745, member: 100054"] Hi Everyone: I am in the process of building a custom 300 win mag. I plan to go on a hunts for some larger big game such as elk, moose, grizzly, and caribou. I have a ruger m77 mkII but don't trust the accuracy of this gun to go on these hunts. I am thinking of building a lighter weight rifle as I don't plan on shooting at much past 600 yds. I have been researching either blueprinting a rem 700 stainless action and adding a M16 extractor or just go buy a Stiller Predator. I planning on using a Krieger , Brux, or Benchmark barrel at 26 in finished with a Vias brake. The contour I was planning was a #4 Heavy Sporter. I am really up in the air with choice of stocks. I have some bell and Carlson stocks and an HS Precision on my rifles right now. I had a bad experience with an HS precision and had to dremel the bedding block in order to fit action and add some thick bedding to square the action to the stock. I would really like a Mcmillan Edge as they are only 22-24 oz. The Grayboe stocks look good but heavier at 2.5 lbs. I want a tough stock that is fairly lightweight. I worried that the bell and carlsons are on the weak side when hunting in cold weather and prone to breaking if it takes a fall. I want to pack around a heavy gun around the mountains. The scope I have chose is a 3-18x44 luepold with a moar reticle and cds internal dial. I looking for input on some of the selections good, bad, ugly. [/QUOTE]
