[QUOTE="huntinherrrington, post: 1300762, member: 100601"] As the title says, I'm researching for a lite weight rifle but solid to shoot long range. Let's say 1000 yards. This will be dual purpose for me and my wife for hunting and some target but mainly hunting. I am a 30 cal man. I'm wanting to change it up as slinging 225 grain projectiles from a non braked gun is not fun for my wife and she shoots a R700 Youth 7mm-08(pencil barrel). Figured it's time to see what this 6.5 rave is about! Here is what I'm thinking.... R700 6.5 Sherman 26"- 28" Proof Research Carbon Fiber Barrel Scope? Stock? Trigger Tech Trigger What is a good stock that double for long range hunting/shooting(no chassis system)? Most of my current guns run 700P HS take off's. While i like them, I want something purpose built this time. I've always liked the McMillan thumb hole hunting stocks but have never held one in person. I'm not looking for the lightest rifle possible. I have one R700 ADL 30-06 pencil barrel for woods hunting. The next lightest bolt gun i have is my R700 LTR 308 with the rest of my guns having 26" Remington Varmint contours. So when i mean lite that is what i'm basing the weight off of! I live in Louisiana so no mountain terrain or tough hiking. [/QUOTE]
