So i've finally decided that i need to build a dedicated range rifle. (Or 2 )
My first choice is on a Savage Axis action.
Model 10,12,16,Stevens 200 being my second picks.
Since i have the reamer, gages, and dies my first caliber pick is 7mm-08AI.
This will obviously be a heavy barrel 28" (30"?).
Second option is 7mm WSSM wildcat. I have access to chamber reamer and gages. Would either have to get blank die, have die reamer made, then ream die. Or expensive custom die, which i'm not really looking forward to. Plus form cases.
Opinions on build welcome. Yes, i'm set on a Savage action. Lol
This will be used mostly for informal range use, with 2, maybe 3, local F-Open matches, and a long range steel match or 2 thrown in per year.
Thanks!
