[QUOTE="Montanasloth, post: 1214349, member: 88494"] I'm not 100% sure on what I really want to do for my fist big game rifle build, so while is figure that out I thought maybe I would try to build up the Remington 788 in 243 win that I have in the safe for a more accurate varmint/plinking rifle. I am 99% sure I will need a new stock, thinking a Boyds prairie hunter and then I will need to come up with some new glass for it as I will most likely use this to be my long range practice gun, I don't think the 3-9X40 will cut it once I actually start getting her stretched out. I will be reloading for his gun so bullet suggestions would be helpful, as I'm not sure what the factory twist is and what I could get to stabilize. as far as a barrel goes I'm thinking the barrel is still good but I will have to see once I shoot it. I was thinking I could get this all done for probably $700? assuming the barrel isn't toast I think that will be easily doable. any input would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
