First LR/P rifle- doing a build, need some advice

[C Ward]

The barrel and chamber are the most important part of the rifle . You put David Tubb behind a gun with a crappy barrel and chamber and it still wont shoot .

For a hunting gun there are way better calibers than 308 and you'd be better served with an of the shelf Sendero or what ever Remington is calling their up scale long action gun now in 300 or 7 mag .
