New rifle build

[csm]

Hey guys just looking at some more thoughts on building a new rifle. I'm thinking of building a 300 savage using a proof barrel and rem action with a Ag composite stock. Should be a fairly light gun for packing around the mountain with. Thinking on shooting 165 Berger. Who would be a good place to get a reamer from

I have an older 300 Savage on a remington 722 action . I like it and it works well for what I wanted it to do .

Not to be argumentative, but unless you already have a pile of .300 Savage brass why would choose this caliber over a .308 Winchester? Going with the .308 you would gain a lot and loose nothing in my opinion. -Ed

Well I do have a pile of 300 brass and 2 rifles in 99e just was thinking about the bolt action option

If you lost your ammo on a hunting trip, would you be able to walk into the local hardware store and buy replacement ammo?

I think so here in WY it's on a lot of shelves in small town stores

I actually think that this is kind of a cool idea. Definitely something different from what everyone else has. Look at PTG (pacific tool and gauge) or Manson. They will most likely have a reamer for a 300 savage.

I haven't had any problems finding ammo for mine here in Wyoming . I shot my last elk with it running a 150 gr. spire point factory load from Federal . I wasn't but 150 yards from her she went 25 yards and piled up . when I shot I knew she was done by the way she humped up and just walked over and laid down .

JGS for the reamer. I now have gone with these exclusively. Great people to do business with.

I have 3 of my Rem hunting rifles using the AG Composite (CAT) stocks. They are oustanding in structure, rigidity, and very light weight. I also like the forend on this stock, as it is just about perfect for stability and comfort. You will not be disappointed.

Here too in Wilkes-Barre, Pa! Great round in my opinion!

what do you think you would gain over your lever action for hunting.... other than maybe a tight twist barrel? If so then, consider one of the Hammer Hunters since you are a reloader. You will get a high BC bullet that weighs a fair amount less than regular High BC. I'm a 99 fan and just completed one in .260 Rem. Have yet to stretch it's legs. But they are such natural hunters that my bolt actions are now just for LRH. But I am interested in my .260 Rem 99's LR accuracy. Will soon see.
