Also if you were going to build one do you start with a .223 action or something like a 243 ?

I think I paid 850 with rings and scope only saved 50 buy buying a bare rifle so chucked scope on trademe
All up bill was arround 1200 or maybe a little over betime I brought lapua brass dies projectiles powder etc etc im a poor bugger so all this made a lot of empty space in the gun safe well worth it though
Honestly I think i like it more than my truflite barreled tikka 260
At the moment if i was going hunting for fallow goats or even smaller reds it would be the rifle of choice

Loves a 100gn seirra varmint hollow point
32.3gn cfe223 and a cci br4 loaded to 2.200"
That's a light load ive had 34gn cfe223 with no pressure signs
Cfe223 although there's no published data for it meny rekon
Its the best power for grendel and i tend to agree
