[QUOTE="wildcat, post: 149323, member: 4557"] ss7mm, thanks for the info. Regarding the action, I went with the BAT because they are the best action out there. I have owned both BAT and Nesika and the BAT won hands down. Remeber, that's my opinion. I just bought a new Lawton 7500 Action for my 300-WSM project. I have heard really great things about the Lawtons. If I like the Lawton and it performs well on my 300-WSM project, Maybe I will use a Lawton on the 7mm Allen Mag project. I am thinking about maybe going with the Krieger barrel. However, Kirby seems to mostly use the Lilja's, and he gets great results from them, so I will probably do what Kirby thinks will be best. Regarding the stock, it's an awesome set up. I've always wanted a stock built like this for long range shooting. They are very expensive and that's why I usually go with the McMillan MBR. However, I am going to buy the best for this project, I am willing to pay a little more for a platform like this. If you get a chance, take a look at the stock. You can see a picture and write up on it of on 6mmBR.com, look under Guns of The Week and the title is "Week 76 Dekort's BAT 6.5x284 F-Classer. I am building the stock exactly like that, but the color will Black & Grey. Regarding the trigger, I will probably go with the Jewel trigger that allows for adjusment from 1.5oz to 3pounds. I've done that before too. Regarding the brake, I usually shoot from a bench and if I shoot of the ground, I put a matt in front of the muzzle. Regarding the MOA in the base, the farthest I will be able to shoot is right around 2000 yards, so I think 40 MOA will be just right if I use the 8x32x56mm NXS.
