[QUOTE="KurtB, post: 2548223, member: 2106"] I'd either rebarrel your current rig to no heavier than a #2b bartlein or #2 Hawk Hill and cut it at 20", or have a good smith turn existing barrel down to those dimensions. Add a TBAC suppressor, and add a McMillan Classic or Game Scout stock to it. Personally I'd drop to a 7mm Remington twisted at 8" but a 9" twisted 300 I bet would be nice as well. Scope would be 20 ounce to 32 ounce depending on which one I put on it. The Game Scout stock to me seems to soak up recoil nicely and having a stock that fits vs a factory length one also helps. I'd try to be no heavier than 9 pounds and would prefer to be crowding 8 if possible. Lifes short, build something you really like to use and get on with it. [/QUOTE]
