[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 716716, member: 8839"] I had one built on a 700 action with a PTG bolt and it was as good as it gets, it drove tacks. My second one is a Pierce XL single shot that weighs in at 16.5 Lbs up and running. THe beauty of this cartridge is that you only need a 26" Barrel the gains past 26" are not worth it. Mine runs a 300 SMK right at 2800fps and is a pleasure to shoot. Ramshot Magnum will give top speeds and often times great accuracy. R-22 ran 2nd in speed 2750 FPS with tight groups and H-1000 hit pressure before I got any speed out of it but at 2700 fps it shot bug holes 1/4 moa. My Ramshot load at 2800FPS shoots in the mid .3's If you want to stay with a smith in Texas I would look at Mikes Guns many of Sloans early rifle came out of that shop and he has plenty of experience with the cartridge.
