[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1722808, member: 99039"] I am really wanting a rifle in 6.5, 30 and 338 eventually. I have been kicking this idea around for a while on converting the Win M70, the 6.5-284 has always intrigued me and with the L/A, figured that would be the best cartridge to change towards. I also plan on building a 30 caliber, what has always kept me from moving to a 30 Cal has been the BC. You don't see good BC until 215gr or better. I will more than likely build the 30 Cal from the ground up, not sure which one yet, but one to launch the 215gr at 3k, same thing for the 338, I want to launch them with enough velocity to take advantage of the BC. I do enjoy my rifles, I don't sell any, I still have my first 22 and Shotgun that I received when I was 11, those will never be sold or traded, matter of fact none of my collection have been sold, I am not into buying and selling. The Win M70 270 was my first gun I bought on my own after I turned 18, hell now after writing all this I may just keep it and build a 6.5 from the ground up... It will probably be easier that way with stock and bottom metal, just have McMillan or Manners do a full inlet and have Hart do the barrel and receiver work. Now comes which action should I consider, I have a Stiller on my Custom 28N, may use them, I thought of Borden, but they are about the highest of all custom actions. Anybody have any experience with a Gunwerks action? So many variables to look at when building a rifle, got to love all the choices we have. [/QUOTE]
