[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 500911, member: 30902"] I'd go with the 28-32" bbl if this is going to be a dedicated 1000yd+ Rig. If you keep the wood stock you need to do a good pier and glass bedding and a complete free float. I'd also have the stock cut down the full length of the barrel channel such that you can drop in an aluminum square rod at a 45degree angle (corners stright up and down and perfectly horizontal instead of flat) and glass it in as well after completely free floating the bbl with good float space of at least 1mm all the way around. The rod will greatly reduce or eliminate flex in the stock due to weight such as having the rig on a rest or bipod, along with the changes wood goes through due to weather. With my wood stocks I did the same from the rear by drilling a hole stright through the mid point all the way to the back of the action and glassing another rod in there. Once all the stock modifications are complete I'd also soak it to the gills with a good oil finish and then completely seal it with varnish or laquer. You cant' stop wood warp completely but this will greatly reduce it. [/QUOTE]
