[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 23233, member: 12"] If you are just starting out, Save yourself a lot of money, buy a good used light gun already made up. You can always go to Benchrestcentral.com and xtremeaccuracy.com and they have classifieds with guns, rests, scopes, barrels and everything else. Go to a couple of 1000 yd matches and look at guns for sale first. That way you know what to look for and what they really cost etc. You can pick up a good used gun already to go that would cost $2500-$3000 plus new for as low as $1000 to $1400 used. No way you can build one for that, you are looking at over $2000 in parts with barrel, stock, action (either custom or trued/sleeved 700), tapered bases and trigger etc. Use that until you get enough experience to know exactly what you want. Worst case you might have to rebarrel it ($500) later. Most can be had with dies and brass. Look for 300 win mag, 300 wthby or 6.5-284 or 6.5/06 Ack Imp. Either way stay with a 30 cal or 6.5. Guntraders.com and Auctionarms.com have several Rem 40x in 300 win or 30-338 for under a $1000 now. [/QUOTE]
