Thanks,i have been moose hunting quite a bit and i am actually looking for a longer range rifle like a 250-300 yard shot.I already have a "brush" rifle in a .35 rem that i take as well.I agree though that a new barrel or bedding isnt necessary.I may go with a browning x-bolt over this build..I just need to decide here shortly.Main reason i may switch is i want a .325 wsm or .300wsm and i can get them at a great price through work pro deals and i regret selling my x-bolt in .325 wsm...so many options and i am only buying/building one rifle for moose hunting....Thanks for the help and info.I appreciate it..."Macho Man"
