408 Cheytac Build

[Jig Stick]

Im seriously contemplating a 408 CheyTac for this BAT long action I have laying around. I am hoping you guys can chip in with any info you have regarding components. Right now im leaning towards a Manners stock, Krieger barrel, Jewell trigger. I am currently researching availability of brass and projectiles. This is a project that I and my buddy / gunsmith have been toying with for a while. Im also looking for a quality reamer to order. This will be a no holds barred build. Im looking to build the nicest rifle possible. Any info regarding bottom metal, magazines, twist rates, suppressors, etc will be greatly appreciated.

FWIW, most of us have ditched the .408 and switched to the .375 - better ballistic performance, more projectile choices.

Defiantly 375 Cheytac. Loaded ammo as well as components available from Hunting Shack of Montana. Dies from C&H or Black Diamond Rifles.
