Hey all,

I'm going to pick up my first big project gun. Savage 110 in a .243. I wanted to build a .243 as a bench gun that i'm shooting 1/8-1/4 MOA.

First question is, Why does Savage manufacture the .243 in a long action, rather than throwing it on a short action?

Second, Being this is my first build, what are some recommendations on directions to go? Shaw Barrel? Timney Trigger (Or purchase an accutrigger?), Boyds stock, or?

And also, what are some things i need to look out for?

Thanks,
Isaiah
