[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 187620, member: 2736"] Canuck It sounds like you have your head on strait because your doing the research before making up your mind. It is very important that if you build exactly what "YOU" want if you go with a Full Blown Custom. Action,Barrel and Stock for the caliber and use. Don't get in a hurry and spend a lot of time with your smith talking about what YOU want and expect from him. Look at bilistics,of several cartrages at max range to be used and type of game to be hunted(This will also help you decide what bullet to use and how to scope it. It also sounds like you are considering a bean field type rifle (You said more static) This would be totaly different from a carry rifle. And in this case I would recommend A heavy barrel #7 or #8 28" to 30" long with a laminate stock (more weight in the buttstock for better balance with heaver barrels) Also the heavy barrels reduce recoil eliminating the need for a brake on most 30cal and 7mm . I hope this will add to your selection process. Good luck on your build J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
