That dont look like a "Budget Build" to me!! I agree 100%, but I am all in on this build, including the optic for $1300 and a bit of time. I attribute it to my wheeling and dealing abilities.

I agree, that's actually a pretty sweet build.
My 280 AI is built on a Remington action. I just sent it to Pac-Nor, and they put a new barrel on it. A 24" #3, also with a 1:8 twist.
Mine was throated for the 168 Berger VLD Hunting, but I still can't get those things to shoot. But with the 1:8 I am getting the 168 Grain Barns LRX to stabilize, and they are shooting very well. I'm using it on a cow elk hunt in January.
Great scope also, I'm only running a VX3 3.5-10. If you have a 'budget' build, I must have the Walmart build.

Did you want it to be that heavy?
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Did you want it to be that heavy? I'm right about where I wanted to be. In calculating parts, I had figured the final build to be 10 1/4 - 10 1/2 lbs.
