[QUOTE="archerross, post: 305269, member: 18909"] The previous posts have a wealth of great info. I wouldn't discount a Ruger action, though. My first "semi" custom rifle was finished in March. It started with a trued Ruger M77 Mark II action formerly in .270. It is now a 6.5-284 shooting strong 3/8 moa with 142 gr SMKs at 2975 fps. Glen Demaray in Three Forks, MT did a fantastic job on it! +1 to Brux barrels. Short lead time, accurate, fast, quick break in, fouls little, easy to clean. I like the #4 contour. Heavy enough for long distance, light enough to carry long distance. +1 to good glass. I spent the extra $$ on a Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 with Rapid Z-800 reticle...wow! The 3-9 x 40 Sightron on my other rifle doesn't hold a candle... If this is primarily a hunting rig, go with a no-turn neck. Either .300 will do what you are looking for as long as you take the time to build a good load and do your part. [/QUOTE]
