[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1984347, member: 91783"] Some of the things that I think about when I go for a new rifle are , What are my weather conditions like on an average day , are they windy ? What is the average temp. when I'm hunting , what is the altitude that I will normally be shooting at . What weight of bullet do I want to use , what bullet configuration do I want to shoot for my area and the conditions I normally shoot in . If it's windy a lot ,like where I live I may want a heaver bullet with as high a BC and a good shaped Ogive , do I want boat tail or flat base bullets , do I want spire points , hp's , solids , jacketed lead core ect. . After I decide on the bullet I want to normally shoot then I think about what caliber has these assets and how much effort I want to put into brass prep do I need to make brass or just fireform to my chamber . Then I want to match the twist rate to the bullet I want to shoot as well as a good length for the barrel with the bullet weight , shape and powder I want to try and reload with . Do I mind re barreling or do I want a caliber that doesn't burn up my barrel after a few hundred rounds . What trigger would I want to put on my action , what stock material and design do I like for my body type and hunting style , what length of pull fits me best . What metal do I want the action and barrel made of. There are so many things that play into buying or building a new rifle I can only tell you what might work well for me and my area . Asking what others might build is just a good place to start not an answer to a dilemma that we place on ourselves . In the end it's your time , money and personal preference that will make or break your new rifle in your eyes . Good luck with your decision and please keep us informed as to your choice , the project build and end results so that we may also be better informed for our future endeavors in this area . [/QUOTE]
