[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1144371, member: 9172"] Lots and lots of good advice here. if i were spending your money ( :D ) I would have two guns. Primary hunting gun..custom repeater action of your choice. A good custom tube ( I have had really good luck with both Krieger and Brux) chambered up in either 300 Win mag, Wby mag, or a 338 Edge/Lapua. All will give you 1500+ rounds of accuracy..maybe much more. As far as stocks...I really like McMillan, but there are other great stockers out there. Find one that you like. Good trigger. And finally...find a QUALITY smith. We all have horror stories or have friends with a crappy one. Second gun.....try and match it up with your #1 gun. Build a clone in a lighter kicking LR caliber. 6x 47L, 243, 6.5x 47L/creadmore or the like. Make this your practice gun. My primary hunting gun (300 wby) and practice gun (6-47L) have IDENTICLE trajectories out to 1000+. They were both stocked the same (Remington Sendero/varment synthetic) and were identicle to each other...scopes, triggers, etc.... I have since restocked the big gun with a McMillan A-5, but I am not happy with the usefullness for my type of shooting/hunting with the A-5 because of the design of the rear of the stock. Now, you don't NEED to clone your hunting gun if the expense is going to break you. A good Rem/Savage action, a decent stock/trigger, will save you $$$ over a full blown custom. Jut my .02 (and a butt load of yours), Tod [/QUOTE]
