Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and to custom rifles as well. I have always shot factory rifles and ammo until I moved here a couple of years ago and made friends with someone who builds custom rifles. Last year I had a 300 win mag built and I really like it. Extremely accurate. Now I am looking at building something lighter. I have a win mod 70 featherweight in 243 that I am looking at building it on. My freind really likes the 250 ackley and has built several for people. He killed a deer at 600 yards with his last year. I would like to hear any and all opions! I am looking for something that has long range capacity but a kid can shoot as well and is a good deer load. Which way do you guys think I should go?
