[QUOTE="CTK, post: 1379632, member: 103842"] The Bighorn action is my favorite action that I have owned. Following Is un solicited and biased advice from a shooter that is far from an expert. Get a 1-8" twist barrel if settled on a 6.5mm cartridge. Don't skimp on the trigger. Don't put a brake on the rifle. Unnecessary and will ultimately ruin someone's hearing. Use Lapua Brass Learn all you can about load recipes for your cartridge on this site or accurate shooter. Discount the claims of well over max loads and fantastic speeds. Pay attention to load info provided by competition shooters. It will will be very obvious when you find a load your rifle loves. "Fliers and pulled shots" will magically disappear. VLD bullets can be a pain in the *** to find the perfect seating depth and powder combo. Don't get overly hung up on using the highest BC bullet possible. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
