[QUOTE="rockchalk06, post: 3910480, member: 40794"] I want a mile capable, heavy 30 caliber I can shoot Elk with when the time comes. So far I am batting 2 for 2 on Bergara rifles. 6.5 Creed in an HMR and a .308 in an HMR Pro with the Primer action. The Primer action is a different animal. About as close to custom as you can get for 1500 dollars. That is why I am considering the Ridgeback in 300 PRC. I can get this shipped to my FFL for just south of 2k. This would be my first rifle I have ever spent more than 1500 on bone stock. That is what has me thinking of a custom route and about 14 billon questions popped in my head. The Ridgeback in my opinion, balances the tactical feel I prefer with the hunting look I would like to stick with. That is what I am kind of going for on this rifle. I'm positive with some of my hand loads, I can make this shoot sub MOA. All that said, I'm not 100% sold the Ridgeback. Custom has me intrigued, but no where to start. 1. Custom barrel going to provide any better accuracy? 2. Custom action going to be any smoother, tighter? 3. Chamber going to be better on Lapua brass? 4. Custom going to be lighter? I'm pretty sure I want to stick with ACIS pattern on this. Thanks in advance OSA [/QUOTE]
