[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 885044, member: 74047"] You lads have all been very helpful and I would still be lost without all your advice so thank you for that! I've had a little twist in fortunes, the litter of pups I was going to get one from in another couple of months was born yesterday. I wanted a bitch and when I heard that there were 11 pups I thought I was in for sure! turns out there were 10 boys and they are keeping the girl. So I made a couple of calls to other breeders and got on to a bloke whos got a girl that a bloke pulled out on. So tonight I'm going down to pay for her, $1000 out of the bank on the lovely little GSP to be picked up boxing day. That's going to put this rig on the backburner till I can save back up. At this stage I'm thinking something completely differently to what I started with. Maybe a Remington Sendero SF II in 300WM but only to use as a platform. I'm sure I'll use a lot of rounds getting myself to a comfortable level of 1000m shooting and after that and a bit of fun the barrel should be cooked at which point I'll rebarrel it to a 338 Lap. First thing first will be a new Timney trigger for it though for sure. I guess at the end of the day the Sendero is $2k less than the quote for the custom job so that's a scope and change in the bank. As long as they shoot well I'll try ADI2209 powder with some Hybrid Bergers. Scope I'm still undecided on. Cheers lads, Jack [/QUOTE]
