[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 372897, member: 8"] If I were you I would go around the tree the other way being as you are inexperienced and do not need to make expensive mistakes. Here is what I did and would do again. Select a "good" gunsmith who[SIZE="4"] knows long range hunting rifles[/SIZE] and most of the sponsors on this forum and some of the members fall in that category. Tell him you want him to build you a rifle for ???????? style of hunting and you would like ?????? caliber or cartridge. Tell him you do not know anything about anything and you want him to provide advice on barrels twist and length and profile, as well as actions and triggers and stocks. Ask him to price it out and then if it is too expensive ask for cheaper components. Tell him you want him to order everything and you will pay a deposit as needed. So that is what I would do. ------------------------------------- Do not take a opinion poll or popularity poll to determine what components to use. If someone begins telling you how great their choice of rifles and gunsmith are then just ask for a few threads where they have actually killed something at long range with said rifle. A good 308 will be a fine rifle out to about 600-800 yards for animals depending on the animal and it will be a really fine paper practice rifle out to 1K. [/QUOTE]
