I've got an older style (F prefix) 111, .300WM, SF with the side button eject DBM...and I want to build up this gun, without breaking the bank.
I've had this rifle for 12-14 years and only used to hunt elk, and I want to turn into a long range shooter and mainly learn from it and still use it to elk hunt.
My plan is to turn it into a top feed blind mag so I have more options for stocks. Most likely a Bell & Carlson stock, I really like the Medalist line; I'll bed the action myself, or at least try :)
I'm leaning towards a McGowen barrel, probably 24 or 26 inch, 1-9 or 1-10 twist, threaded and braked.
Replace the stock adjustable trigger (non accutrigger) with a Basix SAV-1.
I haven't even begun researching rails and mounts for the glass, but this is where I'm thinking about beginning.
Like I said, I'm a beginner, want to learn, and expect this to lead me down the path of rolling my own loads.
Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
