    Help me choose a round

    Good point lash I didn't clue in on that I haven't replaced my barrel yet but plan too at 3000 rds. Not sure about 7-08 but would plan on getting 4000 out of it.

    Help me choose a round

    260 is great and if you don't reload the 7-08 would be another great choice. I have been noticing good ammo that is affordable in my area for that chamber.

    New bolt-action, suggestions welcome

    The 700 will have plenty of aftermarket options if you decide to change anything. I started with a 700 xcr that was very accurate in 308 win. 1/2 moa was the norm when new. That model you could also get in a 300 win mag. Don't have any experience with savage. Both of these will be easier to...

I don't have a misconception about the round it's my observation with what I shoot. If the op wants to run a short barrel friends of mine are...

    260 rem

    Good performance low recoil better ballistics than 308 win. Hunting would depend on game size for me. Personally I would stick with a 24 inch tube or longer. And mine is very accurate even with me driving.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 question

    Re: 1911 question If you can find a trp in that price range that is the way I would go. I just don't see that happening. I would look into a range officer or one of the loaded models. I my humble opinion you will get a lot for your money. I had a sig scorpion when they first came out it...

    Next build???

    Re: Next build??? For that short action I would go with a 7mm of some type. 7 short mag gets my vote. Good bullet bc and a nice variety of them to choose from. Good luck with your decision.

    looking to built first bolt rifle

    Re: looking to built first bolt rifle If that is what you want start buying parts and have it built. Some of the barrels are 8 to 10 month wait time. Don't know about manners but McMillan is 4 months. Between those two items that will be enough to get started.
