[QUOTE="BryanLitz, post: 343495, member: 7848"] I don't know Mr Dowling personally, but I think the above is good advice in general; find a gunsmith you trust and listen to his advice. There's a reason he's a gunsmith. You can get good info on here too about your proposed build, but if I were you I'd value the gunsmiths input above all. We all like discussing and learning new things, but when it comes to something as important as getting a new rifle 'right', I trust those who know best. As to your particulars, I agree that a longer barrel would be an asset if you're willing to carry the extra weight/length. The brake will add length so you want to be careful about making it [i]too[/i] long. You might consider a HS Precision stock ([url=http://www.hsprecision.com/shop/stocks]H-S Precision Stocks - Online Store[/url]). Adjustable cheekpiece and length of pull, and probably available in stock somewhere. Good luck, -Bryan [/QUOTE]
