Hey all, looking for some advice from more experienced guys.
I am finally, after years of shooting a R700 in 308, moving up to a built rifle.
I have decided on a zermatt origin and will be going with a 6.5CM chamber.
I am certainly no gunsmith, and even with a prefit, will be having someone else turn the barrel on. I do not shoot prs or anything competitive , this is simply a long range target gun for me, although I’d prefer it not be a boat anchor.
The vendor I’m working with can get me into a 8twist SS proof heavy Palma (blank) and origin actions for $1200 along with $375 to chamber and install.
Or a origin action plus proof carbon fiber sendero 8twist prefit for 1675$ plus install.
Which route do you suggest I go? Or is there anywhere I can get it cheaper (or better options) ?
Ideally I’d like to be at a 24” med Palma profile.
Again, this is my first true build, and I’m looking for some experienced answers.
