[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 977586, member: 48559"] Welcome to the club. Read the article "Long Range Rifle on a Budget" by Jerry Teo on this site if you haven't already. I kept coming back to it over and over, until I couldn't resist any longer. Last year's build was assembled by pros, this time I am doing it all myself. The last time I sent the donor rifle to EABCO for a varmint barrel and brake, and SAV2 trigger. I think it was about six weeks turn-around. Bought a stock from Boyd's, and had a local gunsmith do the fitting and pillar bedding for me. It shoots so well I had to have another one, so I prowled the local gunshops and found a used 111 with detachable box mag (centerfeed) in 30-06 in the el-cheapo plastic stock. Barrel vise from Midway, barrel from PacNor (not cheap, but they rebarreled a rifle for me several years ago and quality is worth every penny in my opinion) another boyd's stock, SAV2 trigger, 20MOA rail, Burris rings and inserts, JP brake. I have not added up the receipts (not sure I want to) but the satisfaction can't be beat. The barrel isn't here yet, but everything else is done and I've been shooting to my heart's content with the original tube, right around 1MOA (no real load development, just throwing some components together for now) I'll spend the time on load work when the 280AI barrel comes.
