What caliber (s) will be your 2012 build?

I am thinking of a 220 swift

[bythebook]

I don't know, I have a 12 SS action laying in the top of my safe all by itself. I also own 2 204'S, 2 22-250's, 2 243'S, 6bR , 223, 308, and several long action calibers. I was thinking maybe a 260, 6.5 CM., or possibly a fast twist 22-250 with a light Var. barrel . I just don't know !!!

I do know it will be awhile as I have a lot of loading work to do for some of the others.

I have an older 110 in 30-06 that doesn't get used anymore. Its getting a Shilen 25-06 AI barrel, Stockade PD/Tac stock, CDI bottom metal, fluted bolt, SSS trigger, and then a Duracoat paintjob. Probably going to top it with Vortex optics. I'm looking forward to having something smaller to shoot that my .300 Win Mag.

[efm77]

Right now I'm torn as to which to do next since funds will only allow so much at once. I've got a 338 win mag that's finished all except putting a base, rings, and scope on. I need to finish it and get it sighted in. I also have a brand hammer new 12vlp in 300 wsm in the safe that I bought back in March that I've yet to even fire since it's not scoped yet either. I bought a factory new 270wsm barrel from Numrich that I was thinking of putting on it but I'm probably going to try the 300 first. Also want to do a 35 whelen and a 7mm stw. Eventually I'll find a new magnum centerfeed action that I'm pretty sure I can slot the front of the magazine box to make a 7stw repeater with. Oh, so many projects in mind, yet so little time and money!

Have 6mm BR, 300 WTF, 22BR, and another 6.5x47 Barrels on the shelf to build. building a 20x47 lapua has piqued my interest tho. Since i alrerady have the other barrels there is no hurry, but am starting to lean towards the 20x47. might decide to AI my 223 rem barrel that jus6t got built last weekend.

[bootsmcguire]

Would like to put together my 30BR, but need to get the dies coming in for that one. Got a 300WSM small shank barrel that needs a home and a muzzle break built for the threaded muzzle, thinking of going lightweight on this one. Want to put together a 6mm International, but I have yet to find a suitable barrel for that one (need a Large Shank Savage factory barrel in 6BR, varmint or bull contours). Need to get around to putting together another quarter bore of some kind and maybe a 35 caliber but those will most likely be the year after.

[pdog06]

which month in 2012???

currently gathering funds to build/buy a lightweight 223. Would also like to have either a 7mag or 300wm, possibly sell my unfired ss 30-06 barrel and replace it with a 260 or 308 barrel, and whatever else I think of down the road..

[teebirdhyzer]

maybe a .260 or a 7-08. Decisions, decisions.....

[Stockrex]

pistol in a 6.5x55 to use my long action or a 260 pistol in lrpv action, need to figure out and file paperwork for pistol, hmm, maybe an AR based pistol also

[psharon97]

7mm rem mag: Brux Barrel, 1.9" twist, fluted, muzzle break from SSS, LVT Stock from SSS with all accessories, Competition Trigger, T&T and convert long action from RBRP to dual port left bolt and bolt flutes. Still trying to decide what what color I want the bolt flutes to be.

[MaDa]

Spiffing the Stevens 30-06 up. Stiffen/replace the stock. Set up the trigger. Scope it. See how it shoots. If its not what i hoped for, it'll be a 270 or 260 with the quickness.

[mpearcex]

I think a 300 blackout with a 18 inch barrel. Hope to use a 10 action but will go with a 110 if need be.

[rinodods]

Well I really need a new pdog caliber. The dogs seem more ill tempered than I remember and the 300wm just doesn't feel like enough gun. ;D Maybe a 338 Edge. Or maybe just do a lighter 6.5-284 Norma for goats. Then again maybe a 300WSM on a long action. So easy to do just makes it hard to pick one and finish before you move on to something else.

[GaCop]

Either a 6.5 Swede or a 257AI.

[BoilerUP]

Planning a(nother) 260 Rem build...110 long action, CDI DBM, Manners T3 stock, and a 22" threaded Criterion heavy sporter or light magnum barrel.

Of course I've got plenty of time to change my mind with the build and switch to 7mm-08 or maybe 284 Win...

[Werewolf]

Last year I built a 25-06 for my best friend and a 243 for my wife. Now it is my turn! Mine is going to be a 280 ai. I just bought a donor action and now I get to spend my Christmas loot buying the goodies for it while I wait on a barrel.

[Ray Gunter]

6mm Rem AI .....gonna be a little brother to a 240 Gibbs

[Coyotejunki]

I'm thinking o either another 6XC but in a fast twist like a 1-8 or a 243 AI with the same twist barrel.

Maybe a 260 or 6.5 Creedmore. I already have a new, long action sitting around so it may become the 260 or the old workhorse a 30-06.

Oh yea, I'd like a 20 VarTarg too. :)

[jsimonh]

P-dogs are calling for a new .243 in my neck of the woods!

[jake23703]

I'm thinking .338 Fed.

[Firefighter]

[Blue Avenger]
