[QUOTE="rpierce, post: 1102847, member: 20643"] Ill will try and address the bullet question. The berger vld's can be somewhat picky on seating depth. I got a bunch of records and wins with them jammed .003-015. The problem is for hunting if you are jamming them and there isn't a lot of tension the bullet can get stuck when you eject a loaded round, spilling powder everywhere. Not good to say the least. Some guys have had luck with them off the lands. Ever since Berger came out w the hybrids though Ive forgotten about the vlds. The hybrids are very forgiving on seating depth. They shoot great .020-.060+ off the lands. That's a pretty wide window. I managed to shoot 11 deer out to 300 yards with my 6.5x47 last year with the 140 hybrid and 75% dropped dead right there, shoulder shots. Farthest one went was 20 yards. The bullet left a silver dollar size hole. What more can I ask for in a bullet that shoots in the .1s and .2s consistently at 100 yds. Second: the 500 bucks to fit the barrel isn't unacceptable if that includes blueprinting the action. 230 to blueprint, 230 to chamber and 40 bucks for a lug. That's the problem with a rem 700 though. Say you buy it for 550 bucks. Add 230 to blueprint, 100 bucks for a rail and have it bedded, total of 880. Stillers are 950 bucks. Resale on the custom action rifle is substantially higher than the Remington. Ryan Pierce Piercision Rifles [URL="http://www.piercisionrifles.com"]www.piercisionrifles.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
