Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing Custom build evolves...just a tad.

This happens everytime I start one of these. Any way, I had in my possesion a New take off Sendero stock. My plans were to build a custom 280 ackley imp in that stock, but has sense evolved into a Manners T3 with a krieger 7mm M24 contour 1:9 twist stainless chambered for a 280 Ackley IMP.

Got to buy a jewl trigger, some rails. But Im torn since I need to have the action printed, should I ream the thing to a uniform size and buy a PT&G bolt made to fit, or just go with the bolt I have?
This is always what I do to myself when getting into another custom. I have barrel and action in hand. Waiting on the stock now so i have time to decide. Some one help me stop this insanity.

I own a marlin 30-30 that has $1300-1400 in it.
not including the base rifles cost or the optics.
slippery slope.

I would look towards an 1:8 twist barrel.

I do not plan shooting anything heavier than the 168gn bergers, and as per their recomended twist rate, the 1:9 should suffice. Besides I already have the krieger barrel in hand.

Only majore component I'm currently waiting on is the Manners T3.
