Looking at getting a new barrel and action to start a new gun but don't know where to get one from any ideas guys
What do you want to build Luke and how much do you want to spend? Theres brand new barnard actions for around $1500, or you could go second hand rem 700 although sometimes they too are pretty pricey just for an action. Another good option would be to buy a new or secondhand Howa 1500 and rebarrel it.
Was thinking howa just not to sure we're to get one from
Send @Kiwi Greg a pm with some ideas on what you want to achieve with said rifle and I am sure you will get good advice Luke.
You want to think what you want to do with the rifle and go from there not get one first then think what can I do with it.
You may need 5 or more posts to pm? so just post here some more.
Keep an eye out on trademe or even on here the odd one pops up on the buy sell section, only thing is they seem hard to find aftermarket stocks etc for but when theres a will theres a way!
Just something to shoot a lot of goats with really
most rifles will do that. Like VC says give it some thought as having a rifle made this way gives you a chance to get what you want.Quote:

the bad news is factory rifles generally work out to be more cost effective to buy
There is a very sweet 6.5 in the forsale section. I would probably buy that

270 will be a bit of you Luke.

Haha I must say I was quite impressed with the 270 on the weekend:D
Typical suzuki rider statement.Quote:

No one's ever impressed with a gaytm:D
If just to shoot a lot of goats with, something cheap that shoots cheap factory ammo like 223, 7.62x39 would be the go I recon.Quote:

I've got a 223 but dosent queit reach out as far as I'd like it to and I've got the 6.5AI but just want something different
Try Gunworks, pretty sur they were selling Howa barreled actions a while back.
Well KG does "different"Quote:

I wouldn't bother building a rifle unless I wanted to:
A, spend a lot of money on something super dooper accurate.
B, just really really want to build one for some reason.
Plenty of really good cheap rifles that'll last a life time from Remington, Howa, Tikka and Savage. Going 2nd hand you can get some awesome deals.
All of which are easy to buy new bits for and customize later down the track.
2nd hand Tikkas are plentiful on Trademe, 223, 7mm08, 270, 308, 6.5x55 versions are up all the time.
The 6.5 Creedmore Savage in the for sale section would be an awesome buy, especially with the Hornady dies and brass.
There's a Rem action on Tard Me at the moment
The more I think about it the more the man makes sense ( tho he may not have been making any sense the times you have met him :yaeh am not durnk:)
I forget what scope was on there but you could find a second hand dialable decent scope for not much really and just shoot the shit out of it....im sure its what he would have wanted.Quote:

I have just advised him the vortex on the 223 will dial and is zeroable.Quote:

Ballsacks smacked the 1000 yard gong with that 223 and vortex here.
7mmsaum was present to see it.
