My understanding is that this theory is based on the 308 being more efficient ( which i believe it is looking at similar bullets and velocities over powder grs ) and that the shorter casing of the 308 gave it a more uniform and even burn column inside the case thus making it, in theory, more...

Op, I'ld go for the savage. I shoot a Stevens 200 ( savage action ) that has been built up. If your hunting with it then I don't see anything wrong with it. While yes the barrel is not a 1:8 twist that's not detrimental as you will be using a hunting or varmint bullet so 100 grs and under...

York, Hathcock, Marcinko or Kyle

Maybe I'm just poor but if I drop 2k on a pistol and after 60 rounds its rubbed the finish off itself ( even in a small spot ) then I'ld want it fixed. In my eyes the issue is not that its scuffed; the issue is that normal shooting ( not dropping, holster wear, scratches from taking it apart or...

With all due respect are you building a benchrest gun? If so the 300 Hulk printed a 1.403 group at 1000 with Tom Sarver shooting it but thats highly unlikely with a hunting rig ( I'ld be equal surprised if a hunting rifle did 3.9 for five shots at 1000). Using benchrest guns to evaluate a...

I have a stevens 200 build that I had a SSS trigger put in and love it. Only down side is I heard ( no first hand experience ) that these triggers won't fit into some chassis with out some milling or mods. But as far as the trigger itself its great.

It will be heavy, why a folder for a back pack gun? if its strapped to the pack I'ld rather save the weight and do a fixed stock but that is me and this is your rifle. Only real advice I can give you is that one gun can not fill all roles. You can have a back pack gun or a tactical rifle but...

I must be strange cause I thought they were nice. Certainly wouldn't walk away if they were in my living room; kinda doubt you guys would too

300 win mag for simplicity. Best energy/velocity, brass is everywhere compared to the other two and lastly since its a hunting rifle almost all gun stores have 300 win mag ammo if you lose/don't pack your. You already have the long action might as well use it to its potential

A Bartlien 1:10 at about 18 inches should work nicely. I'ld opt for the #4 in a Manners t3 just to keep everything simple yet versatile. I don't know how cutting down the LOP will affect you but shorter seems to be more maneuverable, if the shorter LOP doesn't make you feel "crowded up". If...

Of the three I'ld pick Rock. Read a post not to long ago about this and everyone picked bartlein because of their modern machining ( using cnc's to do gain twist and such); Secondly people picked bartlein because they do alot to support the sport in terms of table prized and support for...

Never used him personally but I read that Chad Dixon does a great job on M70 actions

While everyone seems to recommend the AI line, I'ld look at a custom build with your price range. GAP, Jon Beanland, Robert Gradous, Bugholes or Chad Dixon. While the AI and Sako's are nice I don't see them shooting any better than a rifle built one of these gunsmiths. The best part is you can...
