This is gonna be my first build have amodel 110 pre accutrigger donor gun. Its a 243 long action what i wanna do is put a barrel prefer a medium to varmit contour havent decided on length yet. was thinkin 24 to 26 inches prolly 1;8 twist 1:10 twist shootin deer antelope and varmints with it gunna get a sss trigger and prolly boyds stock pillar bedded any ideas thoughts on this bulid to help me will be appreciated as i dont wanna make dumb mistakes and waste money. Thanks
get a stockade stock - period. theres really no other acceptable(for me) option for the long actions
dont skimp on bases, rings or glass. i just scoped my first long action/preaccutrigger(flat rear) savage, and fitting a 1 piece base can be a problem. apparently its a known issue, the rear flat on the action were hand ground and not held to any real tolerances. my base had .010gap at the back, and i had to lap and bed the base. if uve got these already np
all the barrel makers seem to do a great job, and northlander here may have a barrel for u in stock ready to ship.
ive never messed w the 243, so ill leave the length, twist etc to those that have
yeah just want the best for less as im sure we all do
Ditto on the Stockade. They ain't the place to turn to if you are in a hurry, but the nice part is that by the time you get your stock you'll have recovered from the expense of buying it. Nice people, too. I decided within a few minutes of being on the phone with Kevin over there at Stockade that I'd be sending my money his way. The dude from Choate was a little condescending after I mispronounced the name. :-[
what about barrel brand twist? all that fun stuff?
and kinda want a laminate boyds or stockys maybe
ive got a 300wsm in a laminate stock, and it shoots as well as my synthetics...but...lots of fitting, makin pillars, and bedding involved. looks good, but i find it to be an uncomfotable nightmare to shoot. cant get a decent cheekweld. its the green one. id much rather be shootin the HS precision
