[QUOTE="zgardner, post: 769673, member: 42845"] I have been considering a build off of the a Savage/Stevens platform for a while and still have some concerns about caliber. Lets say elk is on the menu but max yardage of 500yds. Mostly would be used for long range deer and speedgoats. How much difference will there be from the 260 to the 260AI? I would like to shoot the 140gr VLD's and try and push velocity up to that 2950fps mark. Although I believe high 2700's to low 2800's is more realistic. OR In the end do ya go with a 6.5-284 on a Stevens LA? I have put together some build specs and I am wanting to know if it will all go together. Let me know what I am doing wrong. [B]Action:[/B] Stevens 200 in 22-250 [B]Stock:[/B] Bell and Carlson Medalist Tactical Style 2 Tan with Black Webbing Will this short action stock leave enough room for the 140gr bergers to be seated properly?

I was thinking of a taper that ended at .75 to .85 at the muzzle with break finished in barrel. Would like to have suggestions on barrel maker and contour and break. I like the looks of the Tan/ Black Webbing Bell and Carlson stock. I am thinking of having action, bolt handle, barrel all finished in matte black. Is this possible to have all colors match from action to barrel or will it need to be cerokated in black? [B]240 Weatherby[/B] Anyone ever think about building one off of a Stevens LA, Choate Stock, and 22" varmit contour barrrel? I think this could be a pretty sweet coyote setup- Shooting 80 B-tips. Would you loose a considerable amount of speed with short barrel? Thanks [/QUOTE]
