Long time no see gentleman,
The gears are turning and the safe needs a long-range rifle. This is what I have in mind. GA precision for the manufacturer. Surgeon XL action. McMillan A4/A5 (probably end up going with a forest green/black/tan marble finish). I'd prefer a lilja barrel (based on prior experience), but looks like I may have to go with obermeyer or bartlein. Get a teflon finish for the barrel and action. I'll most likely put a Nightforce NSX 3.5x15x56 on the top.
With that in mind, I need a little in put on the cartridge. I want a gun capable of dropping a deer sized target at 1000 yards. I'm leaning towards a 300 RUM. With a 27 inch barrel, can I get this cartridge to push a 200gr bullet at 3100 to 3200 fps? What kind of recoil will this generate in a 14 pound rifle, how much will a muzzle brake cut this down?
Right now I'm very much in the developing stages of this build. The goal is to have a 14 lb, 1000 yard, tactical style rifle. The manufacturer and cartridge are variable. Price range, figure 4k for the rifle. The scope, that's a post deployment treat.
thank you in advance
