You are not going to loose much in velocity and still be able to reach 1k easy. Do not discount Alum chassis either, I have found that when looking at weight savings they are hard to beat. The bottom line is almost any configuration will do the job. Tikka actions have great reviews out of the box, while rem actions need a bit of work which can be done over time and have the most aftermarket support. If you are leaning towards tikka, go squeeze the trigger a few times to make sure you are going to like the pull. You may find that you need less to do what you are contemplating. What kind of bottom metal are you wanting ?
