[QUOTE="danpd13, post: 307390, member: 14871"] Hi There, Have been a member on this forum for a while now, but never posted. there is a wealth of great stuff on here and i find myself spending hours reading it. I am based in the UK and i would really like to build a 375 Cheytac. In an ideal world i would just go with a Lawton 8000L plus barrel and muzzle brake, Manners T4A stock, and away i go. But i can't find anyone who imports Lawton stuff in the UK. all my other rigs have been built on Stiller actions, either Tacs or Predators. I know Lawton seem to be the people with the most experience in this caliber, other than Kirby's 375 AM, or the 375 Snipe-Tac, but i need to build this rifle with components which i can get readily here in the UK, so i was thinking of going with a single shot Predator XL or TAC 338, and then adding a barrel, possibly Walther, but am open to suggestions. The part where i am stumped is the correct barrel twist rate, and whether or not i should be concerned about the bore diameter of non Lawton barrels, i know they produce slightly over size bores to accomodate high BC solid bullets. I will most likely be using 350gn SMKs and GS Custom SP bullets. shooing to sub 2000yds, (which is about half the length of england!!) Any help, info, or advice would be most welcome, Regards Paddy [/QUOTE]
