[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 1508659, member: 12"] If most shots are under 100 yards, why spend the $ on blueprinting? NO need for it. Spend it instead on custom titanium action after selling yours and light stock IF light weight is your goal. You will be much happier in the long run. I would order a chambered criterion barrel from Northland and get a good quality low power variable scope if you absolutly want to build. You are not building a LR rig, you are building a short range heavy hitter. That will do easy 1 to 1.5 MOA and that is all you need. Also, look at one of the Forbes rifles in 30'06 and simply rebore the barrel to 35 caliber at 5.5 lbs. They are on gunbroker for $1200-1400 You can buy a Rem CDL 35 Whelen for $800 and simply restock it with light stock.
