[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2655881, member: 1951"] I would start by finding a caliber and a gunsmith. Then order your action, stock and barre. All can have long wait times. I would then buy cases, bullets and die’s make a dummy round to communicate throating, unless you will shoot factory ammo. To maximize accuracy, I would find the lightest caliber you trust to take your largest game. Then pick the lightest rifle you are willing to shoot it a lot from. For me, this is a 300 Sherman in a 10.5 lb rifle. A 270 Win or 280ai in an 8.5-9lb rifle would be good too with a small brake. [/QUOTE]
