So every nice Niles Coyote's build in the form of a Remington Long Range in 30-06, I've been bitten by the bug to build something similiar of my own and this would be my first centerfire rifle. The idea is to be able to use it for hunting and target shooting, weight hopefully somewhere between 14-15lbs loaded w/ ammo and scope.
This is the idea:
30-06 Build
Remington LA w/ Tactical bolt knob and trued up
Bartlien or Kieger barrel 1:10 twist 24 or 26 inches
Sendero/varmint contour
Badger scope base 20 moa
Seekins 34mm rings
Timney Trigger @ 2-2.5lbs
Bushnell 3.5-21x50 G2 reticle
Manners t2-2a or folder w/ mcs mini chassis dbm
I've toyed with going full custom and getting a custom action to go with the match grade barrel, but not sure if I wanna make that leap. There is another idea; buy a Remington Long Range in 30-06 and replace the stock, keep the barrel because they are 1:10 twists(hope it shoots) and add scope, base, trigger. The MCS mini chassis dbm seems like a solid piece, but haven't done a lot of research on it.
The 30-06 was chosen because since I've been a child, I've been infatuated with this round and people like Niles Coyote and MontanaMarine along with others have fueled it by launching this large projectiles at some serious distance. To me the 30-06 is just the iconic round of America as it's been around and still going strong, if not stronger then before with new powders and projectiles.
I welcome any extra thoughts, comments, questions, and concerns and any others thoughts you can think up.
