[QUOTE="clownbuster, post: 1621055, member: 22486"] I agree with all the above given advice. You can't go wrong with any of the Tikkas or Savages for a factory build. But If I wanted to build a custom driver on the cheap, here's what I would do: -Find an old shot-out Remington M700 (BDL preferred): [B]$300-$350[/B] Find a new Bartlien M24 Contour on here, SnipersHide, or Accurate Shooters classifieds: [B]$300-325[/B] Hop on LRI's website (Long Rifles, Inc. - Chad Dixon) and fill out his online build form for his Group Buy pricing (see build sheet copied from website below): [URL='https://www.longriflesinc.com/products/group-buy-remington-m700-accurizing-barreling-coating-service?variant=20950370369']GROUP BUY: Remington M700 Blueprinting, Barreling, Fluting, and Coating service[/URL] Action Serial Number:Xxxxx M700 Recoil Lug:Resurface Factory Lug Tactical Bolt Knob Installation:No Tactical Bolt Knob:No Time & TIG Bolt Handle (Highly Recommended):No Bolt Fluting:None 8-40 Scope Base Holes:No Barrel Information:Barrel Manufacturer:Bartlien, M24 contour Barrel Serial Number (Not Required):Xxxxx Barrel Fluting:No Barrel Fluting Pattern:None Chamber: 28 Nosler Muzzle Threading:None Barrel Finish Length:26" Barreled Action Finish (See NOTES):As Machined Bolt Finish:As Machined Bolt Knob Finish:As Machined Bolt Shroud Finish:Same As Bolt [B]$ 448.00[/B] You will have a custom-built barrelled action by one of the top gunsmiths available today with one of the best turnaround times you'll find, with an upgraded foundation that you send in and add to as money allows down the road: Have an extra $90?
