[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 70243, member: 11"] OK This rifle has been built and rebuilt hundreds of times in my mind. The stuff below is a copy and paste from a spreadsheet so it will look fairly sloppy but I'm hoping it is readable.

There will undoubtably be some changes as time goes along and as I eliminate some of the question marks above. I will be making the stock because there are some "Top secret" ideas that I want to use. None of the things listed here are a secret to anyone that knows much about stocks. This will be for stretching out my useable range on deer and elk from the .308 and of course will be used on LR varmints. And yes there are plans forming like dense clouds in my mind for a "Highlander" rifle project as well. Something in the .30-.338 area. But first things first. [/QUOTE]
