Ithaca rifle for long range?

[Booney]

I have a 30-06 Ithaca and was wanting to build a 6mmAI and was wondering if a Ithaca action is worth building on or should I just sell it and buy a long action 700?

I dont know squat about Ithaca rifles, but I do know that you can buy anything you want to customize a Remington 700.

That would be the route I'd go, if I were wanting to build a custom long range rig.

If what you have is an old LSA-65, it was made by Tikka. It already has a pretty nice adjustable trigger and integral dove tails for ring mounting. It's a bit light weight, but a nice piece of European iron. I know of no after market parts for these actions.

The LSA-65 is what I have. That is the problem with any thing not based off the 700 you can't get any thing for them.

if you end up getting rid of it, PM me.

Your old LSA-65 would make fine, light weight carry/mountain rifle. It wouldn't be a "low cost" project by any means.

if your not building a big magnum have shaw screw in a nice barrel and go hunting my 6mm is in a grew 98 mauser which is a little long but i love a claw extractor so i steer away from model 700s and post 64 model 70s
