[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2461767, member: 1951"] Not sure if you are helped by this, but…what are you shooting? What weight of bullet do you want on target? What velocity do you want to shoot? IMO, these things are bullet launchers and you have to build around the bullet and velocity target. At the other end, what weight of rifle do you want? What balance point? How will you carry it? What stocks have you tried? What did you like? Dislike? What length of pull works best for you? What comb shape do you prefer? Based on this description, I would suggest a gunsmith….seriously. They know how to get the performance out of each component. These don’t snap together like legos….and deliver top performance. Interesting, but remember most SAAMI reamers are wing clipped by existing actions, bullets and standard twit rates. IMO, you want the smallest case that delivers your bullet from the muzzle at 2800 - 3200 fps. 3100 and above has a serious barrel life issue, I read. Cool, but how did you get there? Also, you can get an M24 profile stock profile….or you can pay a few bucks for a pro to fit it and look custom. How did you choose this stock? What weight do you want? How far will you shoot on average? Max? How do you hunt? High country backpack? low country from a stand or truck? Other? [/QUOTE]
