[QUOTE="liltank, post: 448036, member: 13275"] Sounds like a good set up, but why don't you save your money and by the stock, and barrel of your choosing? You could build the same exact rifle for less money and it would be semi custom. Unless you want another rifle in the safe, then by all means go ahead!:D Just a suggestion if you get the .308, Hornady is making a 178 BTHP w/ a claimed BC of .530. That is the highest in any 175 to 180 class bullet out right now unless you go to the 185 Berger. It looks like it is tipped from the factory and has a similar design to the Lapua Scenar. Suggestion was made to me by our .308 Winny Guru that for long range application to utilize the 200 SGK and the Hornady 208 A-max. They have a lower opening velocity making, higher BC and make for an optimal bullet to around 850yrds. Mind you won't be setting and speed records with these bullets in a .308. You can expect velocities in the 2550 to 2600fps range. Tank [/QUOTE]
