My first foray into building a custom and would like some assistance before I start.
First, is the Ruger American Rifle a good action in 30-06 to start with? This won't be a super expensive custom else I'd go with a specialty action.
Second, thinking about rechambering to 338-06? Or maybe to something else. Options? 6.5-06?
Lastly, what are good cost effective barrels, just trying to get my feet wet in this custom game and all. Would like a helical flute possibly, slightly heavier weight than Sporter.
Can Ruger bolts be fluted?
Thanks all...I'm sure I'll have lots more questions.
I think that the Marlin XL7 or Remington 700 SPS are both better actions to build on than the RAR.
