[QUOTE="MikeW, post: 522, member: 72"] I'm starting to build my only true long range rig. I want to be able to compete in the IBS 1000 yard both light and unlimited class so I plan on keeping it at 17 lbs. Although it will probably see more long range prairie dogs and coyotes. Nobody is holding 1000 yard matches here in Texas yet. What do you guys think of a 6.5/WSM? I'd like a 7mm/WSM but I can't seem to find any match grade bullets in 7mm. I heard a couple guys are making 6.5's. Or should I just shoot it .30 caliber? How long should the barrel be? And what twist with what bullet weight would you recommend with these different calibers? I already have 250 pieces of WSM brass and the stock. It is going in a Tooley MBR type stock. Some guy is making an almost excate duplicate of this stock,it's a little heavier and doesn't have that textured finish on the grip and the price was right. I will be using a Viper or Python action. Thx. folks [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
