[QUOTE="ICANHITHIMMAN, post: 286270, member: 10414"] Is the action a MK5 or a Vanguard? You realy are not limited in your stock choice what so ever no matter what action it turns out to be. There are lots of options out there Manners, Joel Russo would be my top 2. You said what you wanted to hunt but you didnt say at what range. The round your rifle is chamber in for now affords you a lot of options as far re chambering. I am collecting parts for a new rifle now. I have a 28" barrel blank, Vanguard action, Manners MCST stock, Pete Lincons Brake, nightforce bases and a leupold MK4. I keept the barrel profile long and light .750 at the muzzle. am hoping to keep the rifle around 10 pounds. I would flute it and use a medium contour less than .800 you have to reach a balance in a hunting rifle and I allways choose barrel length over a bigger contour. 12-13 pounds in my mind is to much rifle to lug around and Im only 29 and in above avarage shape.
