[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 492037, member: 2011"] Here's my thoughts after thinking about it awhile. Unless you're a young man with time to wait on your hands, I'd look for something already built. I thought I'd save some time, and most probably did, by purchasing components from folks on this forum. Ended up with a Kirby Allen built 375 Allen Magnum. Time to get on the build list is a large consideration. Its way more rifle than I actually need but it sure put the craving for something bigger to rest.:) If you have any inclination for a "big bore" that's up and ready to go there is a fella on here (do a search on "jedlowe" that has just the ticket. A Kirby Allen built 375 RUM. Take a peek at it. As for the scope, do your home work. You very own personal eyes are the best judge of which glass is good for you. For structural toughness I went with a Nightforce for the big gun mounted in two sets of rings. Get in touch with BJ Bailey at 3rd Generation Shooters Supply. (A sponsor here) I shoot a 338 RUM REM 200 sporter as a carry gun. With 300 SMKs she's plenty for the 1200 yard mark. [/QUOTE]
