    My old man is looking to build a 280AI or a 7 Rem Mag. He really wants to build a 280AI so we are looking for a long action standard bolt face but for the right price we could go mag. bolt face.

    This has to be fairly budget minded so we are looking for...

    Rem 700 / Bergara long action. Ideally stainless. Open to others but know that we cant spend a ton on a custom action.

    Remage barrel. 22-24in ideally. Looking for a good crossover contour, not a pencil barrel but no larger than sendero.

    Magpul hunter or KRG Bravo or something else fairly budget friendly.

    Let me know what you guys have out there!

    Thank you
     
    Why not just get a Tikka T3 long action rifle and build off of that ?
    All you would need is new shouldered or barrel nut prefit and your up and running.
    I am thinking of doing one myself but am undecided between 6.5x55 swede, 6.5-06AI or 280AI.
    I have until my 270win barrel is toast to research and decide.
     
    Because tikka long action chassis are few and far between and expensive. Im not trying to spend $700-1000 when I can get a Bravo for $300. I do like tikkas thought!

    Not sure when was the last time you looked but the are several if not more for the Tikka long action now that are not a $1000.
    Anyway good luck and hope you find what you want.
    The Bravo is a nice option for a budget chassis.
