Want to buy: Building a mountain rifle

tmanhawk · May 10, 2023

Looking to start building a couple lightweight mountain rifles. Wanting to piece them together slowly.
Action: prefer RH 700 footprint or Tikka T3
Barrel: prefer Carbon fiber, calibers 6.5 creedmoor and/or 300 Weatherby magnum, sendero contour
Trigger: will depend on action but will still consider it
Stock or chassis: lightweight, NO wood stocks
Will consider complete rifles for the right price, not rushing to get one.

Envision the entire gun in specifics before buying ANY of the components to build your gun.

Start with obtaining an action. If you're butchering a rifle, whatever barrel is on it doesn't matter.

Don't do both guns at once.
