[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2390711, member: 87243"] After going through a few different rifles, trying to figure out my wants and needs for what I consider the perfect rifle for the way I hunt, I think this will finally be the one, so I'm starting another build thread. Some people won't like this rifle, and I don't care, not even a little, because they won't be using it! This build is coming from my personal, hands on experience, and the knowledge of others with personal, hands on experience. And I already love it, and I don't even have all the parts! So, here is my component list! For the heart of the build: Bat Vampire mag bolt face action, probably a TT trigger, because I have it on hand. This may change. 28 oz with trigger For the stock: XLR Element 4.0 Magnesium chassis, folding adapter, Carbon stock, Ergo vertical grip. 43 oz all in counting 5 oz AICS 5 rd magazine. For the Barrel: Bartlien #4 carbon, 20", 8 twist, .308 cal. Fairly set on 30 nosler and will probably run heavy monos, with a couple other considerations. Only other chambering I would consider is the 30 Sherman Mag. 42 oz estimated. For the optic and rings: March 2.5-25x52, Vortex precision (Seekins) rings. Will have them on hand, may change. 29 oz combined. Extras: Silencerco Harvester 30. 11 oz according to their site, will have it in hand in a month or two. With my weight calculations, I should be about 9 lbs 9 oz all up, unloaded if I direct thread my supressor on, add a few oz if I use my qd system, and a few more oz for 5 rounds. I'm aiming for 2900 or better with the 205 grain SBD, optimally hoping for closer to 3000. It should fit in a pack nicely, will have plenty of energy for 1000+ yard elk, will be a manageable weight, will be quiet, and won't feel like holding a heavy 9' fly rod with the can on. The action and chassis were in stock, and being delivered. I'll have the optic back soon from some warranty work, I should have my stamp for my can within about 2 months, and everything else is in hand, minus the barrel.....projected time frame on that is some time in May. Will use ADG brass, and I have some H1000, Ramshot LRT, Ramshot Magnum, Retumbo, N565, and a little N570. I'm sure I will be able to find a load somewhere in there. I will update this thread as the updates come! I love this part!! [/QUOTE]
