[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 850583, member: 43153"] Thanks, mate! An american yankee redneck bloke like me doesn't normally use words like that, but I want to convey how much appreciation and interest I have in what you have to say. Since it will not be a pure BR rig, being taken "afield" quite frequently, I think I will stick with minimum taper. But I still haven't heard any suggestions on how far back from the muzzle to end the taper . I'm thinking 2.25". But that's basically for no other reason or rhyme than looks, aside from trying to avoid having it be a dividend of the overall length. Especially a low, even dividend. I'm try to avoid getting too technical, like I frequently do. But with ANY taper it is very difficult, without having to solve complicated differential equations, to come up with a solid [mathematically proven] solution for the optimum setback # that I wish to go with. I'd like to know more about BR rules and regs though, since I'd like to try my hand at it some time soon. I'd like to start out at around 3hun, then maybe move out to 6. Are there any "standardized" BR classes out there that are NOT open to the straight taperers, but ARE open to a 32 or 33" barrel, with 7RUM chambering? P.S. - Overall weight will probably be between 20 and 22lb.. [/QUOTE]
