[QUOTE="Starbuck, post: 2379306, member: 120719"] Tim: Been following this thread because I intend to do a very similar project but have been going back and forth on a few things. One I direction I might go is to take a LH Savage 16 in 300 wsm and go 7mm-300. I am curious as to why you selected a 1:9 when you intend to shoot 180's? I have ran a couple 1:9 7mm's that did OK with heavies, but I was thinking of going 1:8 or so for the next .284. Also, I haven't started looking into it that far yet, but would be looking for a recommendation on available left hand stocks for the Savage. Have 2 700's sitting on the shelf awaiting reassignment, and I wouldn't be against picking up another Tikka to build on, so like I stated, I'm in the contemplative stage and just weighing options based on attributes and availability of accessories such as stocks. Kinda leaning towards a 280 AI on one of the 700's, but not set in stone. [/QUOTE]
