@NBK here is a non political post.
I have been mulling a new build. The toughest decision I have to make is caliber choice...I like all the Noslers, 28 Nosler, 30 Nosler, 30-28 Nosler but in real world I do not shoot far enough to choose one of those over a boring 300 WM or 7 Rem Mag. Right now I am leaning toward 300 WM mainly because I have all the reloading supplies a 200 pieces of new Peterson brass.
I am in the process of ordering a nitrided Defiance ANTI action (LA Mag) paired with the brown granite proof research light weight mountain hunter stock.
As of now I am leaning towards the following so that the rifle is ~8 lb all in
Carbon Six 24" barrel with a 1-7" twist (for 30 cal)
Trigger...Timney Elite Hunter or Jewell
MBM 5 port Ti Beast
Hawkins rings, bottom metal, follower
Maven RS.5 4-24x50 Scope
Now here is the big kicker and what I am contemplating...Do I build / assemble the entire thing myself? If I go that route, I would would get the barrel prefit with the brake would be self timing.
The rifle would have significantly more meaning doing it myself...but also, FF does terrific work so why not go that route. Would love to hear thoughts??
