Help me pick a parts list for my next build. I've already got my mind made up on a couple of things. 308 win with a 20" barrel. After that I'm all ears. Budget is $2800 in parts. Not interested in factory rifles
I like it, I'm not a big chassis guy, my buddy has an element and it's very niceBighorn action, or rem 700 (save a little)
Proof Sendero CF barrel threaded for suppressor or break,
trigger tech trigger,
element magnesium chassis with carbon fiber or folding but-stock.
AICS mag.
I've already got the glass & rings. I've been preaching on here about the Trijicon Accupoint I'm obsessed with that scope. I do like your idea of going with a Tikka. I've also been looking at the Mack bros evo asFor that budget , take a good look at Tikka, then put on a proof, Bartlien barrel, find a stock you like and you're off to the races. With the savings get good rings and splurge on glass. Never skimp on glass.
Good to hear. I like Trijicon, not their scopes though.. more of a ZCO, NF and Tanget Theta guy. But they make nice stuff.I've already got the glass & rings.

Yeah I have an NX8 on my other rifle and love it, for a cheaper option it's hard to beat TrijiconGood to hear. I like Trijicon, not their scopes though.. more of a ZCO, NF and Tanget Theta guy. But they make nice stuff.
I love this build! I might go with an EH1 but this is real close to what I had in mind308? $2800 in parts? I'm probably a touch over.
Most of these were bought on sale:
Ruckus nitrided $1200
20" bartlein CFW barrel $700
manners eh2. $625
TT special $150
APA RTG DBM $225

Well that's kind of a loaded question. I already have a couple of bigger rifles. 7ss & a 300 rum. So I've got my bases covered there. 308 is cheaper to shoot, accurate and a great round for whitetail in Texas where I do most of my hunting. I like custom rifles, it's a sickness. 53rd best round is a bit of a stretch though. I honestly don't think you can rank cartridgesI just have to ask:
And don't misunderstand me, I own a few .308 rifles, but why go through all of that, spend that kind of cash, and chamber it in the 53rd best cartridge option out there?
