[QUOTE="megastink, post: 2388628, member: 33429"] I want to build a lightweight .260 Rem. I think this will be the perfect caliber for our deer out here in PA. The goal of my build is super lightweight mountain rifle for long walks in the woods. Shots will be 50-600 yards and I’m planning on loading either ELD-X’s or LRAB’s in the 140-147gr range. This could also be a rifle that I bring on future antelope hunts. I have some components in mind for the build that I believe will fit in nicely, but would love to get some suggestions. Here’s the rough draft of the build: Action: Remington 700 short Trigger: (looking for suggestions) Bottom metal: factory BDL Barrel: X-Caliber Remage 24” 1:7 or 1:8 Muzzle Break: (looking for suggestions) Stock: Grayboe Trekker (this is borderline non-negotiable) Scope base: EGW moa Picatinny Rings: Burris Signature Zee Optic: Bushnell LRHS 3-12 or Burris E1 4.5-14x42 LRMOA (already own both, but open to other suggestions) My budget is around $2k for the whole rifle, not including optics. I’d love to hear what direction you all would take this build. [/QUOTE]
