[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 791450, member: 12995"] I'm telling you.....280 AI is the way to go. I Talked to my smith earlier....Yep, .280 AI is gonna be it. Gonna go with a Douglas XX-Match stainless 5-groove 1:9 twist, Sendero contour, finshed @ 26" w/ an 11* recessed match-crown. All trued up on a fully-blueprinted 700 action. Might can even talk him into jeweling the bolt for me, to add some class to it. Still haven't decided on a stock yet. But I should be in a 1,000 yard shooter and precision whitetail rifle for well under $2K...Minus optics. Now to save up to go buy one of the $379.99 ADL specials from Academy Sports to build off of. :D He said one of his other regular customers has one that Mr. Jimmy built for him, and said it was shooting under 1¾" groups @ 700, and just under 2" 3-shot groups @ 1,000. Now, for the record, Jimmy can build a gun like nobody I've ever seen, and he shoots benchrest 1K tournaments and wins. So I know his guns will do it. So, guess I need to start looking for brass & dies........It never ends..... LOL [/QUOTE]
