[QUOTE="HuntnPack, post: 3061448, member: 42721"] [USER=86224]@Ghostwolf308[/USER] Here's some info for you new builders That may help your thought process. Build it the way YOU want it !! My 7SAUM Hunting Build Plan Outline example. The SAUM is capable of outstanding performance and accuracy. It is an overachiever. Performs well in a lot of configurations. *I'll use my most recently completed 7 SAUM build, I won't get into my reasoning of particular detailed cartridge, bullet, or component choices as that is another lengthy topic for each. My Build parameters may be broad in scope that I narrow down based on Personal Preferences & Experience. I Take a System Approach where components are selected to complement each other. I start by deciding what the use is, the what & where. *utilizing my desired cartridge. (ie: Big game, small game, backcountry, open country, long or medium range, or a combination of all of the above) Use; Example: 7 SAUM mid weight do it all suppressed backcountry hunting rifle. Then the bullet/bullets I want to run, based on the above, & numbers generated with a ballistic calculator for velocity parameters required for the game & distance I require. (Light, heavy, or both) Bullet; Example: 147gr Afterburners @ 3000 FPS. The above factors drive the rest of my build planning approach & component selection. This is where I narrow down the details. Next I think about what I envision the finished rifle system to be, 🤔 Exactly what I want. I don't let Price or availability dictate the vision here. Everything hereafter is largely based on what works best based on experience, knowledge, & personal preferences. Action: I choose the desired action as the base. I'll determine length, weight, desired features, material etc. that best facilitates the specific use for the cartridge / bullet choice of this build only. example: Defiance Anti X medium Integrated lug & 20 moa rail. Fully DLC coated. Barrel: I'll determine type, twist, length, contour, etc. that will enable my bullets Ballistic & Performance results I'm after. Example: HCA Carbon, Heavy Hunter Profile, 1-8 twist, 18" length, threaded 5/8-24 for suppressor use, throated long for 147 monos & 180's Bottom Metal: I prefer BDL for my use. example: Defiance/Snowy Mountain XM length 3.200 BDL Kit Black Ano. Trigger: I choose a high quality reliable adjustable trigger. Example: Trigger Tech Diamond, pro curved. Stock: I choose a high quality lightweight stock With the weight, length, comb height/design, & features I prefer. Example: Manners Pro Hunter, 26oz. Carbon Fiber, with front pic rail, & arca tripod rail. Optic ( build specific ) This is an area that I'm still working on getting dialed in due to aging eyesight. I've been trying different options. Currently going back to a NF scope I've used before with 30 mm tube, 50mm objective, sub 30 oz. Weight, 4-32 power, SFP. Rings: lightweight, strong, Picattiny type. Example: Badger Ordnance 30mm, .823 height, best width for fitting to the Anti X Scope level: I like an independently adjustable type with good visibility That's visible in shooting positions. Example: Flatline OPS. Halo X Bipod: Example: Atlas Cal Tall, quick detach, 3"leg extensions, Hawk Hill Talon claw feet. Tripod: Example: Leofoto SA-324C+MA-30L Suppressor: Example: Dead Air Nomad-LTi-e With some thought process & information gathered prior to building a custom rifle this outline may help you get the results your after. Good luck, HP. [/QUOTE]
