[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2738404, member: 68875"] My very first "custom" build was a .25-06AI. I bought a pawn shop R700 carbine .30-06 that looked like it was a truck bed gun. As in bounced around in a truck bed a while. Ditched everything but the action. I told the gunsmith to "square and true the action up". Had a new 28" Lilja #4 1:10" chambered in .25-06AI, put a Bell and Carlson fiberglass stock on it, a Shilen Match trigger, and topped it with a Leupold Vari-X III 6.5-20×50 LR. It shot 3 different loads. 100 SMK @ 3600 into .6s. 100 TTSX @ 3600 into .8s. 115 VLD @ 3450 into .5s. I killed a lot of coyotes, and we killed quite a few mulies with it out to 488 yards. Once I shot that barrel out, I rebuilt it into a .280AI. When the gunsmith took it apart, it looked like the previous gunsmith had "squared" the action with a hacksaw by hand. So the new gunsmith actually did it right, opened up the threads and cleaned everything up like it should have been. Installed a new 26" 1:9" Proof CF Sendero Light, new Manners EH1 w. Pillars and bedded, a bunch of bolt work, and a new March F 3-24×52. The .280AI shot 175 Elites @ 2975fps into .2-.3s routinely. Killed quite a few pronghorn, deer, and elk with it over the years.
