Here is how everything panned out.
Surgeon 1086 Long Action
HS Precision Long Action Bottom metal
McMillan Hunter (decided on McWoody)
#4 Rock Creek Stainless 7mm 8.5 twist
Jewell Stainless Trigger with safety and no bolt release
The only things left I have to purchase are rings, I have the Leupold rings I mentioned earlier, and glass.
After spending the money on the things above, I don't want to go cheap on the glass. I am considering a Nightfoce 3.5-15x50. Any suggestions?
Also, any suggestions on a gunsmith for cerakoting and the final build would be appreciated. I have had a gunsmith in GA recommended to me. Does anyone have suggestions for a gunsmith who may specialize in or does very good work on 280 AI with the 40 degree shoulder, not the SAAMI spec?
