[QUOTE="kai, post: 1364107, member: 98994"] The reason I'm looking to build a 28 Nosler is to get a fast 8:1 twist barrel to use the Berger 195 grain bullet. The factory guns all seem to have slower twist rates. I hunt near sea level in rainy Washington and am looking to maximize accuracy and range for elk hunting. I'd prefer a stainless action. The reason I'm considering a Sako 75 or 85 is that they have generally high quality actions and can be bought complete for around $1000. I like the safety and bolt release while loaded. I was considering rebarreling one but am looking for comments and other suggestions for getting an accurate rifle with 8:1 twist. I'm not sure if it would be more cost-effective to use a R700 RUM action and if it would need to be blueprinted. I'm open to using a used action and stock as long as it has good accuracy and is a good fit for my use. [/QUOTE]
