Well, let me start off by saying hi, and that I've found this website to be extremely helpful. In fact all the research i've done has been from this website, and I just wanted to say thanks to the people and members that make it possible. I still have a ton of questions, so bear with me! So let me tell you a little bit about what i want out of this gun. I'm looking to build a benchrest/varmint rifle. I want a rifle that i can get "bug-hole" accuracy at 100 yards and still take out to the field and crack a groundhog at 400yds. Most of my shooting will be from 100-400 yards, however, i still would like a rifle capable of decent, 600 yard accuracy. Will be shooting custom bullets 62-80 grain. So with all that said, this is what i've come up with:
Kreiger 1 x 12 about 24"
heavy varmint countour
neck chamber .271
trued rem 700 short action
Kelby br trigger
richards custom stock #005
Well, how does that sound? Hope i didn't ramble on too much. I've been bouncing around trying to figure a good twist rate, i think the 1 in 12 is a good comprimise.
With that kind of setup, realisticaly what kind of accuracy can i expect at say 100 and 300 yds? and how much difference does a custom action make? can a finely trued rem action shoot as good as say a stolle or bat? well, i guess that's it for now, lemme know what ya think!
