[QUOTE="muley75, post: 334298, member: 17759"] Okay, I have posted to this site one other time and you guys were great. So I am looking for more great opinions. I previously was looking to buy a long range rifle finished, but like many, the economy has took a beating to the wallet. After much debate I thought it would actually be more fun to build my own rifle. Have always felt the best way to learn anything is to jump right in. With that said this is what I am thinking. Since I have limited equipment and funds I am leaning towards a Savage rifle or action so I can do more of the work myself. So here is my initial plan. I want to shoot 600-900 yards for Mule Deer, Elk, Black Bear. I need the rifle to managable when it comes to weight. I like to hike a lot so it can't be a beast to carry. Caliber: 300 ultra or 6.5-284 Rifle Action: Savage Stock: Boyd not sure with a thumbhole or without. Barrel: Shilens Trigger. Timney or get the Savage AccuTrigger. Scope: Still deciding, thinking a Vortex. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, Scott [/QUOTE]
