[QUOTE="Lead farmer, post: 980229, member: 82911"] Hello all, I've read several threads on different builds some of you have done and this seems like the place for me to be for great advice for my upcoming build. I'm at the very beginning of my planning, I've been looking at actions, barrels, stocks, and calibers, but haven't nailed it down. I'm looking to find out which caliber will give me the best ballistics with manageable recoil (which isn't a real concern), and available ness of brass. I am leaning towards the .338 edge cartridge. Mainly due to the fact that I can use a donor action with a standard magnum bolt face. I also like the .338lm cartridge, but the donor actions out there are limited and usually just as expensive as buying a new surgeon, stiller, or defiance actions. Does anyone have a line on getting one of these actions at a decent price, or if they sell wholesale to FFLs? I'm looking at mine. Like I said, I'm new to this forum and the long range shooting sport. I have shot and handled forearms since I could talk, so I'm not new to shooting sports all together. Any info on books or sites that would aid me in gaining the skills or equipment that I will need would be greatly appreciated. An armed society is a polite society! [/QUOTE]
