[QUOTE="Diamondback, post: 1511958, member: 29413"] I used to build on Remington 700's - and had outstanding accuracy lowered weight factors, and spent money. Then I got introduced to Tikka's and never looked back. Handloads give me 1/2 MOA easy and very nice rifles. I was skeptical till I bought one and just laughed. I wasted a lot of time and money building when I just could have been shooting. You invest too much money in a rifle build and it can become more a work of art than use. My recommendation is this: [IMG]https://basspro.scene7.com/is/image/BassPro/2586585_100161108_is[/IMG] [B][SIZE=6]Tikka T3X SuperLite Bolt-Action Stainless Rifle $880 [/SIZE][/B] 7mm Rem Mag. 6 lbs If you are not shooting too far - 270 Win instead with 150gr Hornady Interbonds.
