[QUOTE="dogz, post: 3073940, member: 5429"] Couple quick things, what game will you be hunting on a yearly basis? Next up, I'd highly encourage you to take a long hard look at finding a NULA/ULA with a #2 contour on it in .270. I found one 5 years ago for my 60th birthday and couldn't be happier. Rifle has enough weight to it to be a verifiable 500 yard kill on demand rifle. Far and away if you can find one it's the easy button. 2nd choice for a 500 yard rifle would be a Kimber 84L/ Montana and rebarrel it with a Lilja with their special contour (follows the factory barrel channel to the forend then finishes at .62" at the mzl) with a 8 twist .270 barrel and or a 8 twist in 6.5/06. 3rd choice would be a Havak Element in 6.5 PRC or 270 if they make it. Lastly, if you wanted a custom build don't dick around, call 50driver and get it sorted out. You sure as heck won't regret it! Now on to the scope part of the equation............:) [/QUOTE]
