I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread. I will be in the planning stages for a while. I own a few very nice rifles and thought about building a custom since I have just started shooting again. I will reload before this rifle is decided on. I am however and always have been a shooter. I have just not been serious about it for a while and when I was it was rimfire.I have started picking up a few rifles the last few years and when work and family allows, I will get serious with them.
My main reason for this thread was to decide if my budget would allow a custom action, or if I would be better served with a factory action, some caliber choices to look at, and if my weight, around 7 lbs is reasonable with accuracy being the highest concern.
I had to be away from the web for a while but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help, and even the constructive criticism of my lack of reloading and of each others choices.
