Been pondering a new .243 build (yes, I love that caliber) and what I've just about settled on is as follows:

McM Hunters EDGE
Pacnor #1 or 2 contour three groove 1:9
Rifle Basix
Talleys
FXIII 6x42 (of course)

Wanting to build a minimum legal bore light weight as a do-all. This means 6mm is the smallest I can go since I hunt in Wyo as well. Not sure if I'll go AI, if so the Goat Gun will have to be punched as well as I want the capability to run same/same in both. Haven't decided if finding a Rem donor or going with something like Lawton or Stiller.

Thoughts? There any good lightweight aftermarket 700 based actions out there?

Hadn't even thought in that direction, be a lot less time/money tied up in that package.

Guess I'm in luck that tomorrow is Monday. Time to make some phonecalls and see who's got an 84m 243 in stock for when I'm southbound on the 5th...
