[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1283054, member: 96274"] Hey guy's I'm wanting to dive into getting a custom rifle built and possibly somewhat putting it together myself so I have a question of what all do I need to consider? I'm wanting a long range rifle with a little bit of a tactical configuration to it and I'm wanting to keep cost down as much as possible, hoping to build it for around $2500. I'm leaning towered PTG or Pierce action or a trued remington 700 action if it will really save me much in the long run. I'm not sure on a barrel cus it seems there's lots of good one's to choose from and my local smith has his recommendation. I also want to go with PTG bottom metal and the larger 3.85 magazine so I can play around with longer bullets and where I seat them but I'm not sure on what to choose exactly. I'm gonna go with either a 300 wm or 30 nosler for caliber so how long a box is necessary? If I went with Wyatt's extended box would there need to be modification to any bottom metal or do they make a bottom metal set up for the extended box? And does the action need inletting for any of these bottom metal set ups? [/QUOTE]
