    Advice

    Right. As far as opinions on what is the "best" set up, I know better than to ask that. I was really asking what people thought were the components you thought were most crucial vs. components you could go cheaper on until you could buy your ideal. For example: I mentioned I wanted to get...

    Advice

    True enough. I'm not going to manufacture any of the parts. I would enjoy sourcing the parts and then assembling the rifle. I don't want to have GAP or JP handle it for me. Nothing wrong with someone else assembling the rifle, but there's nothing wrong with me assembling the rifle, either...

    Advice

    True, but the brown truck goes anywhere in the country, too. If we're going to use the standard of it's available in the mail then pretty much anywhere is accessible. I thought you were pointing it out because most people assume that if you live in Oklahoma, they assume Oklahoma City and...

    Thanks. I won’t be doing the machine work myself. Tulsa is quite a ways and we don’t go there often, but I’ll keep the name handy.

    Advice

    I probably should have explained a bit more. The point of the rifle is that I build it. I have initially chosen the Bighorn action because of the number of shouldered pre-fit barrels and Savage threaded barrels that fit their actions. I'm sure that there are other actions with equal number of...

    Advice

    I know this has been asked a 100x in a 100 different ways but I’m thick headed tonight and can’t find it over search. I’ve always wanted to build a rifle from selected components that I wanted. At first I thought I wanted an AR build but eventually decided I wanted to build a bolt gun. I’ve...

    New and trying to find some info

    Re: New and trying to find some info eh, I can't find any of the information I need to fill out the table you linked. Can you link something else that will explain all I need to know to arrive at a answer. I can't figure out how to compute BC of .22 LR rounds because I can't find...

    New and trying to find some info

    Re: New and trying to find some info I've pretty much given up on 22's out here with the nasty wind. Maybe I need to rethink that idea?

    New and trying to find some info

    Re: New and trying to find some info Its beginning to sound like a 260 Rem might be my best bet for overall inexpensive shooting, flat trajectery, high BC, easily found reloading components, light recoil, and wind bucking capability. If I chose in the .308 size there are multiple...

    New and trying to find some info

    Re: New and trying to find some info Interesting. I looked up the 260Rem on a BC chart and they have plenty of commercial options available at over .6. The ammo looks reasonably priced, as well. What twist rate would you go with for 139 grain to 160 grain slugs? Thanks, Chris

    New and trying to find some info

    Re: New and trying to find some info heh, thanks for the reply. I should have been more specific. When I talk about hunting, about the only thing that I'd take a long shot at (say over 400 yards) is a coyote. In my local area, it would basically be for target/practice. I just don't want...

    New and trying to find some info

    I did a search for wind but came up short. What I'm trying to do is find some information about wind. I'm going to try to put together a hunting/long range rifle, but I live in a windy area. The average wind speed is 13 MPH. I was thinking about the 338 lapua, but cost is a negative factor...
