[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2422717, member: 118816"] Well you have an old lady here who has been shooting for some 65 years and loading for some 52 and is a NRA Certified Instructor as well as having spent 30 years in the Army, 25 of them as either a dedicated marksmanship instructor or as an additional duty. If you are dealing with a 300 Win Mag I suggest that you don't waste your money on some custom thing that will cost you thousands when there are factory offerings that are thousands less and will shoot just as good or better than your custom rig. I have a Browning AB3 in 300 WIN MAG, wood stock, 26 inch barrel before muzzle brake bringing the overall barrel to 28 inches that after a bunch of difficult barrel break in shoots way sub MOA groups with 180 grain hunting ammo and weighs in at 9 pounds with a Vortex Diamondback 6 x 24 x 50 on top of it. Overall cost is around $1000. If I had to do it all over again I would get a Tikka T3x in 300 WM and top it with the same scope which would weigh in around 7.5 to 8 pounds and with a muzzle brake will kick like a .243. It will be shooting sub moa out of the box.
