First post for me - long time reader. First, I want to say I have learned a TON from the post on this site. A lot of great people with huge experience that are willing to share. Best site I have followed... Much appreciated!
I am in the process of having a custom rifle built (1st one) and have a couple of questions I would appreciate any thoughts on. My goal is a light(er) weight rifle for deer hunting in the back country that I can still accurately shoot to 600 yards. Accuracy is very important.
Am building with the following:
260 AI
Bartlein barrel 23" #19 Mag Sporter .650
Remington 7 action
Manners EH1 stock (not yet purchased)
Trigger Tech trigger
My questions are:
1. With the Bartlein barrel I have on order would it look ok on a Manners EH1 (don't want it to look overly small inside the stock)?? Also considering a Game Warden #2??
2. I want to glass bed - but NO idea on what bottom metal I want?? I DO want lighter and have no problem with a BDL type floor plate. What Mfg. / model would I want? I am understanding that Manners will contour to a number of different bottom metals. Cost is really not an issue. Want to glass bed to allow as much accuracy as possible so I am leaning away from Manners MCS DBM Mini Chassis?
Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe
