[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1812349, member: 110896"] Cost me around $15,000. But I don't care. I've got another mildcat bouncing around in my head right now. It will be a 6.5mm, 2.1000 inches long and have a 23-degree shoulder angle. The length was chosen because a 300WSM is absolutely a short-action cartridge. The 6.5mm bore was chosen because it recoils a lot less than does a 180-grain, .30-caliber MatchKing with 65.0 to 70.0 grains of H-4831SC powder behind it. The 23-degree shoulder angle was chosen because there is a neck-turner with blades that come already cut to that angle. The shoulder diameter was chosen so as to get more toward the geometry of present-day cartridges and away from overly-tapered designs from the early 20th Century. The action will be a stainless Zermatt Arms TL3 (left bolt, right ejection) with a stainless & fluted Hart barrel, all nicely nestled into a MagPul Pro 700 fully-ambidextrous chassis. Scope is most likely going to be a Gen 2 Vortex Viper PST in the 6-25X x 50mm flavor. Trigger is most likely going to be a Timney of some sort, set down to about 28 ounces to trip it. [/QUOTE]
