In 2018 I built 5 rifles and bought one factory rifle:
Win M70 280AI
Rem700 6.5-06
Sav 111 300WM
Sav 110 280AI
Rem 700 7mmSTW
Kimber 84L 280AI

I took them on a month long trip of target practice, shooting 3 antelope, and 2 mule deer.

That Kimber was way lighter and much cheaper than what I had in parts in the other rifles.
To keep it extra light, I put a Leupold rimfire lightweight scope on it.
It kept up in accuracy with the other rifles a 200y and 400y.

If the cheap and lightweight Kimber works so well, why am I bothering to build rifles?
