[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 941109, member: 50867"] I'll make it short and sweet. .338 Lapua ... Muzzle brake equipped Bartlein barrel (5R rifling), McMillan stock, Remington 700 action* (trued of course and with a sleeved firing pin), Timney or Jewell trigger, Nightforce scope. Now, go build it and have lots of fun. gun) (*) You can spend more but a properly trued Remington 700 action will do the job as well as one of those $2000 custom actions. Remember that the action pushes the round into the chamber, fires it, then ejects it. IMO, you shouldn't have to spend a couple of thousand bucks for a tool that does that. [/QUOTE]
