[QUOTE="JDD, post: 1676867, member: 102774"] A Kimber aspen for about $1800 in 280 ackley if you reload will do what you want all day long. Go the ackley for longer case life. The on 6.5 I would consider is the 6.5prc or the wild cat 6.5 280 ackley improved. Then your stuck with reloading. Don t spend money on a Remington donor You can get a new bare reciever from buds a one piece bolt with Sako extractor from PTG. cost about 500. Rem bolts are crap the handles pull off. If you go true custom go big. a light weight custom action 800 to 1100 bucks 300 to 400 for a match barrel get a 8 twist or faster. The state of the art stock 500. Barrel length, taper profile, and twist are choices you get to make. You want a long action. The Tika t 3 is always a long action you just change mag. Good barrels same as sako. You can take a t3 in 7/08 buy a reamer for 280 ackley and for minimal cost have a 280 ackley for about 350 you should be able to get it rechambered and have a muzzle break installed. Look at the kimber aspen I shot two different rifles the both shot 1/2 moa [/QUOTE]
