[QUOTE="mudygmc, post: 1527134, member: 57931"] Hey guys ive been thinking of building a hyper velocity hunting rifle. Something similar to what Ferguson used to build. I have a rem 700 mag action I was planning on using. Ive been looking around but coming up with little info on the subject. What I kind of had in my head for a build was a 284 jazz with a 28in slow twist barrel. Was hoping to push 120-130 class bullets as close to the 4,000fps range as possible. The goal would be to zero rifle for say 300yds and still be able to hold on at 500yds. Looking for an extremely fast flat shooting rifle. Elk would be the biggest target and that would be rare. I have bigger guns id rather use for them. More or less used for deer and antelope in the plains. I am intetested in ideas from anybody who has any knowledge or experience with a similar setup. If i get my ducks in a row and a solid build plan. I plan to talk to Nathan at SSG about doing my build. I havent ran it past him yet. Been a lack of free time on my part. Nathan built me a 300wm a couple years ago an it is very impressive. I appreciate any suggestions youd have for me. Thanks, Adam [/QUOTE]
