Hi All,

This is my first post here. I bought my first Savage (10FP .308) two years ago and love it for both hunting, as well as target.

Now I'm wanting to build my own piece-by-piece, but this is my first time doing so. I know I want something a bit larger, with a bit further reach. Everything I've read, people tend to stay away from the .338 Lapua because the cost of reloading. I'm thinking of building a .338 Edge. I keep reading http://savageshooters.com/SavageForu...?topic=27704.0, "The 338 Edge definitely gives the most bang for your buck."

When I bought my 10FP .308, I bought a Choate Short Action Ultimate Varmint stock, and didn't realize it wouldn't work with my newer 10FP due to the bolt release being in the trigger guard. So I really would like to use this Choate stock as the base for this rifle.

I know I need a barrel and action. Any thoughts on a cost-effective, accurate solution?

What else do I need besides optics?

Thanks!
Lee
