[QUOTE="rotorhead, post: 128615, member: 5078"] Kirby, I have thought about it and I am leaning towards the Lapua. I know what I'm getting with brass and it just simply makes me feel a little bit better to go with the Lapua brass. I use 223 and have used a couple others over the years and always had excellant luck with it. I have a few guns and I have always liked sako actions even the 995's are ok if you can put a decent recoil lug on it. The queation is how do you feel about working with a Sako action? I will only use Lilja and Krieger barrels I have tried hart and shilen and I feel its hit and miss and I really don't want to go exploring around to find a new barrel maker so I want to stick with the two I have faith in. In another reply you mentioned a fluted 7 or 8 and a 30 inch barrel I shoot all 26 inch barrels and was wondering how muzzle heavy the 30 would be. I always have looked to get a gun very balanced. I was thinking a 28 but this length my not be enough to get what I need for the caliber, comments? I would suppose with the bipod it wouldn't be an issue? As far as a stock goes, I am thinking about a Mc millian but would kind of like a nice laminate. How much weight differance are we talking about? I like detatchable mags as well but I'm not to sure it would be a good idea on this gun what do you think? I am a little hesitant on a muzzle break but everybody hear seems to use them and the Hollands seem to be the ticket, your opinion on the issue? The next thought is about scope power, I tend to lean more towards lower power scopes I want to shoot 1000-1200 and the scope power would just have to be enought to get a decent picture I have never felt I needed to count hair, if you know what I mean. I have a 4.5-14 and I have never turn it up to 14 during hunting What do you think? I do know I will need more than this but I just used it as an example. I want you to know I have a rifle in the works right know so I wouldn't be doing anything for a while but I wanted to kind of get a plan together ahead of time and work through some of this online here so everybody who was interested could follow along and drop there questions in.
