[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1060139, member: 55230"] Are you all set up for the 243 and therefore want to stick to that caliber? If I were to build on a short action I would build a 6.5creedmoor, stellar factory ammo. Either way have you looked into apache gun works? Looks like a prefit runs 190, I'm not sure how much for a Shaw. I also recommend getting a new lug and nut from ptg, northland, or gun shack. If you can deal w/ the weight of a choate they are probably the best bang for the buck. I have one and it works like a charm. Otherwise I'd keep your eyes on the classifieds for a HS take off to pop up, I'd imagine used it would be comparable in price to a new choate. Varmint is going to be lighter and have a taper. Bulls are straight contoured or almost straight. Other than deer what will this be used for? Will you be shooting long strings of fire? Will weight be an issue.. redundant w/ the stock but a heavy barrel on a heavy stock.. well you get the idea. [/QUOTE]
