[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1142306, member: 52437"] All, looking to do a rifle build which will be light weight. Accuracy simply needs to be under 1MOA out to 400 yards. The biggest factor here is weight and money. Don't want to do a super expensive custom but the stock will likely have to be somewhat custom because length of pull will be 12.5-13inches. Thoughts? I was thinking doing something off a Remington 700 action because of the availability of stocks, although I do like savage builds due to switching barrels but there are several styles of savage actions and depending on which one you get limits which stocks you can buy. (I have two semi-custom savages right now). Cartridge will likely be 260, 7mm-08(already own a 7mm08 and like it!), or 280. I do reload so if there is some other cartridge I should look at let me know. Rifle will be used on deer with a small possibility of black bear. We don't go out looking for black bear but if one creeps by during deer season, we would shoot. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
