    111 pre accu trigger long range hunting build


    Guys I'd like to hear some suggestions on a long range hunting build on a 111 pre accu trigger. It's going to primarily be a "mountain" type of hunting build so weight is some what of a priority with out sacrificing accuracy. Currently the rifle is chambered in . 300 win mag I probably wouldnt change that, but am wide open on suggestions and advise. This will a first time build for myself.

    Just bed it and float the barrel. Spend the money on a good light optic that works properly.
    And a trigger maybe.
    Let’s see some pictures!
    Good luck. A 300mag is a great round

    If you stay with the factory "Tupperware" stock, you may want to consider a brake to tame the magnum recoil. Definitely a better trigger like Rifle Basix or Timney. Consider a scope in the 4X12 or 4X16 range with good light gathering.

    Why would you assume it's a bottom bolt release?

    While i'm shooting a 111 TBR in 7mm Rem Mag, same applies.
    If you can find/afford a better stock, by all means do!
    As for optics, i'm running an EGW 20 MOA one piece base, with Vortex Viper aluminium rings holding a Sightron Field Targer 4-12X40 scope.

    But even as light as i could get mine, i opted a different route for going out west (i live in PA) elk hunting.
    I bought a used Forbes 24B in 280 Rem. With optics it's just under 7 lbs.

    I agree with this advice. Do it and see what kind of accuracy you get out of it.
