Does building my first count?

Current plan reads like this for a lightweight medium-long range setup:

Savage action (Short or maybe target)

Pac-Nor Select Match 26" barrel in 7wsm or 7rsaum or something in that class 6 flutes on something like a pac-nor 5 or 6 contour, no brake

If funds allow a McMillan Hunters Edge ultralight stock, if not that then a Stockade of some variety.

SSS recoil lug.
Burris XTR rings
EGW? 20MOA aluminum base
Leupold 4.5-14x40 VXIII with M1 knobs added...tentatively anyway.
 
Here are the specs of the LR shooter that Kirby is building for me now (ordered the first of October) This will chambered in his 338 AP Mag caliber. Can hardly wait to get my hands on it. The stock will be 70% black, 20% Olive and 15% Tan


BAT Model MPIC single shot, 20 moa integral rail base
Jewell trigger
Lilja Allen32, 1-10 twist barrel..
APS 5 port Painkiller muzzle brake
McMillan A-5 w/ decelerator pad
Integral adjustable cheek piece
APS pillar bedding(3 pillars)
Metal ADL trigger guard
Teflon coating barreled receiver and trigger guard
NF ultralight rings(2 sets)
NF NXS 5.5-22x56mm

of course I plan on it... just don't let the girlfriend know or that will be the end of my plans. WHAT SHE DON'T KNOW DON'T HURT.:D
 
Yes I'm in the process of building a long range on a budget with a stevens action and SSS 27" 7mm rem mag 1-9 matte stainless.not sure on stock and scope yet. Hopefully next season get a 600+ yard kill!
