Have you looked at bergara rifles?
Wow....so many great posts / responses. I guess I have a lot more research to do.....problem being, everytime I research a caliber, I find 3 more to add to the list. Example: I am pretty sure I will have to own a 6.5-300wby some day. My obsession continues to be expensive. LOLOLOL Leaning a little more toward the 300 win mag due to components and capabilities. Just seems a little boring LOL. Not sure I will go 100% custom build.....just becuase most factory rifles shoot so well these days. I like the idea of saving money on a factory rifle and tweaking it to my likes over time.

Show love to the carbons. Cool quicker. Lighter. Shoot more
How durrable are the carbon wrapped barrels? I'm not rough on my stuff, but heaven forbid someone took a fall in the woods....would the carbon wrap potentially fracture / crack?

I am considering the Mesa Long Range.
Carbon is very durable John. Good for normal rate of fire. Had many turned and wrapped by Loomis. Light, stiff, and cool to the touch. But not meant for volumn shooting (auto or rapid fire). R&D on an ar Carbon wrapped barrel literally caught fire after 70 30 round pmags of 5.56 ball was run thru as fast as one can reload and pull the trigger. But, who fires like that normally lol!
