[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 2833218, member: 99039"] Since you are starting out at an early age, I would guide you to look at a Terminus Zeus Quick Change action. This would allow you to build a rifle in many cartridges and use only one stock and one scope. If you are willing to go this route, you can order the Zeus in Long Action with a magnum bolt face. The Zeus uses AICS pattern magazines. I would guide you to use a Hawkins M5 DBM in L/A and purchase a Hawkins L/A spacer kit to run the 6.5 PRC. You can purchase a pre-fit barrel from Preferred Barrel blanks, you would not need a barrel vise to install the barrel. You can order a stock from AG Composite and have it inletted to the Action and barrel contour. I would add a Trigger Tech Diamond to finish off the build, the optics is whatever you like, but if you are building one rifle for multiple cartridges, I would look into a higher end scope to last a lifetime. If you decide later on that you want to hunt Elk or something else, you can switch the barrel out with like a 7 PRC, 300 PRC, anything in a magnum bolt face. Just remember you would need to use the same barrel contour to fit the stock inlet. [/QUOTE]
