I want to build a wsm rifle. Probably of the 270 flavor. Also most likely on a savage action, (if i can find one) Or a Winchester XPR action. So far I have had exactly zero luck finding either in the wsm calibers locally. I have considered buying a 300 win mag donor rifle and building a 6.5 wsm on a long action to help with COAL with those really long 6.5 bullets. At any rate I am just having trouble deciding what I want to do. I don't need this rifle to serve any particular purpose. Probably a lot of range time, but needs to be a reasonable weight to take into the field. I guess just for fun really... WHAT barrel maker for a fast turn around and reasonable value? What stock? Brake or no brake?
I guess I could always Buy a Remington 700 long range in 300 RUM and shoot that barrel out then build a 300 PRC. Or just buy a RPR in 300 PRC.
So someone talk some sense into me and give me some ideas... By the way I have the blessing from my wife since I recently got a promotion and worked my ass off this year so no dog house i guess.
Maybe I would even get lucky and someone here from Central PA, or NY would meet up with me and have a donor rifle or action for sale...
Appreciate the feedback all.
P.S. Don't tell me about recoil and how much easier a smaller caliber is to shoot. LOL, I already know and do just fine...
