Last year I had "Redneck" build me my version of the perfect deer & hog rifle. I used a Winchester push feed action with a Bartlein # 0 contour finished at 21.5". I used a McMillan Sako Classic in edge and I achieved exactly what I was looking for.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...cs/14420489/custom-257-rbts#Post14420489I have been hunting with a .257 Rbts since 1992. I have 3 in the stable right now. My first, the 700 Mtn rifle has taken everything from antelope, cow elk, numerous whitetails & hogs. I have used plenty of bullets too from 100 gr. ballistic tips & Hrndy SP, Barnes "X" , TSX & TTSX; 115 gr BT's & Partitions; 117 Hrndy up to the 120 Partition. Now a days I am almost an exclusive user of 100 TTSX bullets. To give me something to tinker with in the new custom, I plan to work up loads with the 90 gr. GMX, doubt it will kill things any deader than the 100 TTSX but it gives me a spring & summer project
