[QUOTE="jtmoose, post: 1136786, member: 87081"] Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the forums and very new to hunting. However, i wanted to build my own rifle because I'm a tinker. I wanted to get some feedback on how I did and what you might do different for when I build another. I started my first season hunting black bear, blacktails, and elk here in western WA (tag soup though). Here are the parts I used and why. Action: Stevens 200 donor short action (seemed really cheap to build from) Barrel: X-Caliber 22" #5 .308win (.308 seems cheap and available) Stock: B&C Medalist (I like a more vertical grip) Trigger: Rifle Basix SAV-2 Scope: Leupold VX1 3-9x40 (Leupold seemed to have a good reputation) After one season of hunting, the weight seems a little heavy after a full day in the mountains. I only seem to be able to see 200yds for >90% of the area I am hunting. Very few spots without thick timber. I appreciate your feedback, thank you. [/QUOTE]
