I'm a lifelong hunter, but fairly new to custom builds. SH has been so helpful in digesting all the options and considerations. Thank you all for your help!
Very excited about my first LR rifle build, an I received a great call that it's arriving in a couple weeks. I'd be interested in putting together a maintenance schedule, like you get when buying a new truck. What parts need to be replaced or serviced and when. Specifically, what can I expect for barrel life? I was planning on ordering some custom loads to get a flatter projection and higher velocity on my dope. Assuming the PSI is a bit higher, can I expect 2000+ rounds? Follow up, when my barrel is starting to degrade, will that be the only thing I need to replace or should I expect the action, trigger, stock and any other components around that ~2000 round timeframe or later?
6.5 PRC Build
- Barlein 28" heavy palma
- Impact Precision 737R
- TriggerTech Special 700 Rem
- Hawkins DBM
- Foundation Exodus Stock
- Leupold 5HD or Altus Cronus (still conflicted on which scope but there's lots of content, so no need to discuss here)
