[QUOTE="Ranger Jim, post: 428631, member: 13130"] Hello all, Building my first custom rifle, I'm using my Sako L61R in 300 Win Mag as the base, thinking of a 26" Brux sporter barrel in #2 contour w/a muzzle break. Since I'm going to use this as a long range hunting rifle I have a question about twist and number of grooves. I was thinking a 5 groove 1-9 twist, planning on shooting 165-180 grain bullets. I have a Bell and Carlson Carbelite stock for it already. I'm going to have it bedded, trigger adjusted to my liking. What recoil pad do you folks recommend ? Also looking for a good Smitty in my area of Northern California so if anyone can weigh in on that I would appreciate it. Looking forward to the wisdom of this group, Ranger Jim [/QUOTE]
