I'm about to invest in a multicaliber setup (308, 6.5 CR and 300 Norma). 90% of the time I will be shooting at 100 yards range. 10% abroad on 1mile+ ranges. Don't shoot competition at this time and where I live we do not have PRS. However I am very competitive and want to rule out my rifle when it comes to my shooting abilities. I'm also a reloader and now shoot most of the time with a Tikka T3X tac a1 in 308. Will re-use my S&B 5-25 PMII. After close considerations I'm now left with 2 options:
A custom build around and Ultimatum Deadline Gen 2 long action. MDT ESS chassis , Bix'n Andy dual stage trigger and custom Match barrels (eg twist, thickness, length etc) made and all assembled by one of the best gunsmiths in the country I live in. The gunsmith would also create 'hot swap' system for the barrels (and has done that before with succes).
OR
The 'good old' AI AXMC
From a price perspective the custom will be slightly cheaper but that is not so much a deciding factor for me.
I would love to get your opinions!
