    I just looked them up... they seem to be pretty close in price +/- $100 depending on the model of the bighorn action. I started looking at the sako Carbon wolf in 22-250 but no one seems to have one anywhere. Beautiful rifle. Not sure about how much better a sako is to a browning or savage...

    Yeah, it sounded a bit high, but I’m not too knowledgeable about what is all needed so I wasn’t sure.

    I was looking at the 224 Valkyrie before the 22-250 and while it went out a little further, it seemed the 22-250 was a little more on point for what I need. I’m never going to shoot out past 600 yards with this rifle and even that is pushing it. I would like to have something that can take down...

    So the difference between the proof and proof light is the amount of CF. That’s it? Lol i would have thought it was “lighter”. They target their ads for idiots like me. Lol appreciate the info. This is all excellent info!

    I have a 338LM and a 22LR. This one will be my 3rd. I don’t know if I picked the best components for them or not. I bought what I thought would be best based on what I’ve seen and mainly read on here for what their intended uses were/are.

    So triggertech it is. Unfortunately, I’m a victim of good marketing on Jewels part. Lol now do the mini chassis have a list of actions that they fit? Or do I have to send in the action to them? This is my first build ever. I’ve only had customs built. Never tried doing it myself

    So what’s the difference between a stock and chassis? and what’s the difference between a stock builder they offer and the mini chassis? This is getting really confusing. Lol I may be out of my depth on this one.

    The one thing I really liked about the longhorn action is you can change the head on the action to fit another caliber. Obviously having to swap barrels out. Let’s say I want to stick with the 22-250, is there another magazine that will feed more reliably?

    I’m sorry... what is the 8TW? Is that a barrel contour or a certain barrel?

    Good to know. I appreciate that info. I’ve never even seen a proof in person so I have no clue about the weight or performance... only what I’ve read. What I’ve read has never mentioned what you mentioned. Thank you.

    I’ve heard of these, but didn’t know enough about them. Worth the money then?

    Also yes, I’m using this as a walking/hiking/calling rifle.

    I do reload, but for something like a 22-250, I probably wouldn’t waste my time for $1.50 rounds. I reload for my 338 lapua rounds because I’m looking at $8-$13 per round depending on what I’m doing. So I usually reload for that... not much else.

    I was looking at the surgeon bottom metal based on reviews... but I’m not 100% sure what the bottom metal does or how it affects performance. Just being honest.
