[QUOTE="jsthntn247, post: 950222, member: 14894"] The bell and carlson A5 weighs 5lbs. If you plan on doing ANY hunting with this gun I wouldn't go that route. You have been suggested the b&c m40 and I'll will agree that this is the best stock other than a mcmillan htg or manners t3 for your intended purposes and a 24" barrel. One thing you must decide right now is what bullets you intend to shoot and let the smith chambering the barrel know. If you want to shoot 185-210's and he uses a Palma reamer you are going to be screwed. I would suggest the Bisley or Obermeyer reamer in the .090 freebore range so you could shoot the 168's - 200 hybrids. Another thing to consider is powder, I don't know how it is around where you live, but around here if your build is a year out, you better start looking now for powder and primers so your not scrambling when the time comes. Varget for the 168-200's and imr8208xbr for the 155's no matter what anyone else says, those combinations will work in any .308. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
