I shot 215 bergers out of a 10 tw rum for years with good accuracy.
They work fine, but if doing a custom build I would reccomend a 9 or 9.5.

Just asking, but why do you think you need anything faster than a 1-10 to shoot the 200-215's?

To be stable in the worst conditions. I.e. Very cold dry air at low elevation high preasure situations and also can improve the transition to subsonic from super sonic

 :yeah:
Like i said i shot the 215 for years since they came out with a 10 and was plenty happy but when I had a custom made I went to 9 to make sure I would be good. And also in case I ever wanted to shoot the 230s. I realize guys are shooting those from 10 also. . It certainly won’t cause any problems with the heavys in a 9 vs a 10. Not sure on anything lighter tho.

I'm shooting the 230's from a 10tw and they work very well but I'm also shooting them a couple hundred fps faster than a RUM, too.

What's your budget on this rig?

I was thinking $2,500 for rifle.  Though this is a very soft number.  I have found rifles ranging from $1,200 to $3,000.....once I hit the 3k number I should just go 100% custom. 

My scope will be a nightforce shv 5-20x56.

I’d have a hard time plunking 2500 down on a factory rifle personally. Definitely get with some builders and explore options before you decide on that.

I don’t doubt it at all. It’s known they work in a 10. But with the option of faster I couldn’t see a downside.
I’ve seen guys shooting the 215 from a 10 at 308 velocity with great results too.

Fast 230s gotta be pretty dang awesome!

You should be able to have a pretty nice semi custom built on a Rem 700 LA for $2500.

Either.....really like the chassis on my savage stealth but have stocks on everything else.  Not 100% decided one way or the other.

You can get into a custom 300 Win (or any other magnum/non mag caliber) for $3000 or Under if you’re smart with components.  Could look something like this:

Stiller Predator action $940
Mcmillan Gamewarden/GameHunter: $600
Benchmark #4 non fluted: $335
PTG bottom metal plus Wyatts box and follower: $175
Mbm 4 port baby beast brake: $90
TriggerTech trigger: $180
Labor to put it all together including cerakote: $800.

$3120 total. Kind of a no frills bare bones custom build with a 6 month lead time but it’s still an option. Or go with a stock from stockys and cut that lead time down to 4.5 months.

And I apologize for the offtrack C.F. discussion. My intention was merely to educate and offer up information on a subject I know a fair amount on. Hope you find the rifle that’s perfect for you!

Mike
