[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2467963, member: 94420"] I'd just buy a new Tikka in .308 Win. Nothing wrong with building a custom, but it'll be cheaper to start with a new Tikka, drop it in your chassis and done. I haven't seen many custom builds that'll out shoot a factory Tikka. If you're not reloading .308 Win is going to give you the most options for factory ammunition in this current market. It's going to be one of the most affordable as well for shooting volume. Just look at what you can order online, and you'll have a lot more options in .308 than almost any other elk capable cartridge. Just some FYI we have young gun in our elk camp that's taken a few elk with the 6.5 Creedmoor without much hassle out to 450 yards, and it's a Tikka as well. I haven't seen any dramatic reaction from the Creed except the one neck shot he did. However, they've all dropped in short order with minimal tracking. He's just 20 this year, and the Tikka is the only rifle he's used outside of an AR-15. [/QUOTE]
