Go buy a savage in 260, or heck...any number of great choices. You will shoot little groups, and not have the hassle. Prob be cheaper too. When ya start talking about wildcats, and 28" barrels n all kinds of chit you will be over a grand in no time. Spend the money on glass. Jmho.. I gotta 6br that makes the 17lb mark if you want to shoot light gun 1000 yd. let ya have it for 2. Its a tac driver.

I went shooting the other day. It was windy. Poor day for load testing. I only took AR's. I had a little 2 group thing going with the .243 that was pissin me off. Groups were ok tho for the most part. I broke out the Blackout, and some 147 pull downs. 125 sierras, and 130 Hornady spire points. Combinrd with 1680, 296, and Lil Gun. Man... That thing is gonna shoot. I was going to be happy if the thing shot into 2 or 3" was going to load up a bunch of fodder, and blaze away. The dang thing is a half inch gun. Well it is now. I'll fukk that up when I load 50 to prove it 10 more times.

Got to babbling a bit there. Good luck on the project!
