I've just finished my first Savage build and I'm hooked. I also just found a screaming deal on a .270 110 with an accutrigger that I couldn't pass up. I didn't have another build in mind at the time but I've decided I want to build a lightweight "mountain rifle." My only real criteria are (1) generally easy to find factory ammo (I reload but I like the idea of being able to pick something up at a sporting goods store in a pinch) and (2) max or virtually max ballistic capability from a barrel no longer than 24". You might say that I should just leave it as a .270 but I'd like something with a little less recoil so my daughter could hunt (whitetail) with it too. At this point I'm stuck on .25-06. But I'm very open to suggestions.
