[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2171743, member: 115190"] I built that as my 1st diy. 7mag 8T prefit OMR CF 26" barrel, NSS 700 SS LA, Timney 510 flat, McMillan ultra-lite Game Hunter stock, Precision Armament Hypertap break, PTG SS BDL floor plate, and a Vortex Razor HD LHT 3x15x42. The Razor with be replaced with a Mark 5 HD at some point. I wanted to have just enough energy at 1000, with no extra recoil. And I had a 270 wsm 10T model 70 featherweight in a B&C stock already. Shoots a 180 vld-h at 2944 fps at .5 moa. And its exactly 10 #'s even, empty and no sling. Plenty of energy at 1000 yards for elk at attitude. If I was to do it again and didnt have a 270 wsm, I'd go with the ulta-lite Game Scout, I have one and like it slightly better, and maybe a 22" barrel, and probably 270 wsm so I would still get good speed from the 22" barrel with a fairly fast powder like RL16. And still just enough energy, 1200 #'s at 1000 yards for elk at attitude. And I'd spend the extra money and buy a Bighorn or Tac 30 action. 700 is ok but once your $3000 plus whats $500 more.
