[QUOTE="trebark, post: 910432, member: 19172"] Unless you're shooting grizzlies, 300rum has prohibitive recoil for a lightweight rifle. If you like the 30 cals, look at 300wsm or 30-06. I would learn towards the 300wsm as it is a short action and would be a bit lighter than the long-actions. custom action vs. Rem700 If you ever intend to resell the rifle/action, the custom action will retain more value better than a blueprinted Rem700. Muzzle Brake For the magnums, look at four port brakes. Personally, I like the four port muscle brake. Other things to focus on: Trigger Stock Remington triggers are not bad. If you want to upgrade, just get a jewell. They are the best. DO NOT get a timney. Two friends of mine have had them fail. Bedding Definitely bed your action into the stock. Optics Buy once, cry once. In other words, buy the best you can afford. And if want you want is more than you want to spend, then wait and save your money until you can afford what you really want.
