Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats If someone gave you a Rem700BDL....

MS.As big a fan as I am of the 280 AI.The 40 degree shoulder must go.To many resizing problems and tight cases with the Ackleys.I would build the "beltless magnum",The 270 Win.I would develop a load with a 130g Ballistic Tips,one with a 150g Swift A-Frames and just for fun and to see how good it would really shoot.Id grab some 135g Sierra Matchkings.Put a #4 Shilen barrel 24 inches long,High Tech stock.Shilen trigger.And a 1.5-6x42 Schmidt & Bender scope with a #7(4a)
<br>reticle on Talleys.Id finish up all metal work with a electroless nickle finish.I would most likey use Norma brass and Reloader or Norma powder and CCI BR-2 primers.
<br>We are pretty close there Mr Sisk.This should work very well for anything in the lower 48.
