[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 174770, member: 8843"] If your planning to build a custom gun and you don't already have an action to build on I would highly reccomend that you go ahead and start off with a custom action from Stiller , Borden or so on , you will be very close to the same price as if you bought a Rem 700 and had it built up right. as for your caliber , seeing how you mentioned Elk out to 1000yds , I would recomend at least a 300 Rem Ultra Mag , shoot a 200gr Accu-Bond and you will be covered for just about everything in north america at long range. The RUM's would be the cheapest way to go , if you want a little step up in performance you can step up to the Lapua case , improve it and use either 7mm , 308 or 338 cal bullets and you will have a winning set up.
