[QUOTE="maninthemaze, post: 1038390, member: 87387"] Hello! I have been lurking on this website for quite a while now and have finally decided to build a new rifle. My current deer rifle is a hand-me-down 8mm mauser that shoots 1 1/2 groups at 100 yards. And that is with a boyds stock that has been pillar bedded shooting handloads. I wont even discuss what it does with factory loads. I guess WW2 was hard on this rifle. While this is fine for KY, I am planning on going out west for mulies, pronghorn and maybe even elk in the near future. So I have decided to build as much rifle as I can afford. Anyways, I was wanting some input on my selection and any pointers you have for the equipment that I have purchased. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated. Stuff currently at the gunsmith, Dixie Precision Stiller Tac 300 Krieger #7barrel chambered in 7wsm Timney Calvin Elite trigger On Order Manners T2A Vortex Viper FFP 6x24x50 Still need to decide on bottom metal. Haven't decided if I should go with DBM or a drop floor plate. Like I said, any and all comments are welcome Thanks [/QUOTE]
