[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2710037, member: 103303"] Check out this thread, [USER=125205]@Firedad[/USER] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/my-perfect-wyoming-mountain-rifle-build-thread.289880/[/URL] Personally, I think Cody nailed it with this one. If you look back through his previous builds, you can get a sense of the progression. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/search/589973/?q=build&c[users]=codyadams&o=relevance[/URL] Forgive my bluntness on this one, but it's unlikely you will hit your first build out of the park. A good smith can help, but there is a lot to balance. ...and for that reason, I'll recommend starting with a semi-custom Tikka build. Drop it in a Manners EH1, put on the barrel of your choice, and go shooting! Hopefully this will leave a little more in the budget for GLASS! If it was me, I'd buy a Tikka in 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Win -use the factory bottom plastic and magazine - they save cost and weight. -sell the takeoff barrel, new, unfired and recoup a few dollars. I am on my third Tikka build, and almost ready to do a full custom on a Kelbly Nanook. Enjoy the journey! [/QUOTE]
