[QUOTE="freddogs, post: 2152677, member: 23463"] I have a 98 mauser sporterized to a 257 Ackley improved. I really like this round but I was never impressed with the rifle that was rebarreled by Shaw about 25 years ago. I've shot some game with it. It's a fun round and I've experimented off and on for years and never got it to shoot better than 1.5 moa. I thought it might be fun to build a new 257 Ackley improved since I have lots of brass ,dies, and bullets. I saw a Weatherby vanguard at a gun store for less than $500 (new) in 270 wsm. Would this work for a build ? Any ideas on barrels and twist rates or someone to do it? Any problems I should think about? [/QUOTE]
