I am looking for some help on building a 6.5 WSM for a long range hunting rifle. Max yardage of 750+- is my limit. I want a rifle that is packable for the day. I am 6'4" and 230, so 8.5 to 9lb with scope is good. What action, barrels, and stocks would be best? What twist rate with 130 to 160 range of bullets? I am thinking 27" barrel, not to heavy but still realize the excellent velocity potential, and downrange performance of this round. Thanks for the help guys, your opinions are certainly respected!
