I’ll float this out there. I was in a similar boat 2 years ago. I ended up with a custom 30-06 with the Serengeti chamber. And since im back to strictly bow hunting, I just don’t have use for it any longer. Details of the build below.
Xtreme Titanium Long Action
Proof Research Sendero Barrel finished just over 25* and threaded 5/8x24.
TBAC CB nuzzle brake installed currently
McMillan Game Hunter stock
Timney calvin elite trigger
PTG BDL bottom metal
The whole gun with the current Leupold VX6 HD scope weighs in just shy of 10#. Aside from range use working up a load, the gun was carried over 60 miles through the desert mountains/hills of central Oregon on an elk hunt. Unfortunately, the elk were scarce...
I worked up a load with 200 grade ELD-X’s acheiving about 2750 FPS and getting 3.5* groups at 500 yards. I can keep them about .3 MOA inside of 300 yards. The disparity at 500 is simply my shooting ability. Still minute of elk heart though.
This would be on the high end side of custom builds, but it shoots like a custom should. If you are interested PM or email me and we can speak at greater length about the rifle.
Sounds awesome!
