[QUOTE="WahooYahoo, post: 2521411, member: 94632"] If you need to replace the barrel on the CA, get a 300WSM cut with ample freebore for the bullets you want to shoot. Tikkas are fine factory actions that [I][B]may[/B] [/I]save you some money if you find a cheap donor. When compared to Bighorn origin or Defiance tenacity and the like, the savings isn't a lot. Weigh it out. Tikka is fine, but not better than the customs mentioned. The other advice I recommend is build it on a [B]long action[/B]. The 2 oz you add will not be noticed, the extra length available to seat long bullets is priceless. Don't let anyone convince you that it does't matter. It matters unless you are going to have a SAAMI chamber and shoot factory loads. Good luck with the build [/QUOTE]
