[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1159120, member: 17112"] I would go with a #5, fluted or non fluted. I've got several of that contour. One out to 28" finished barrel + brake in a 7mag and it shoots great. Never had issues. It's a Lilja #5. As far as stocks I would get something sturdy rather than light. I like stocks with aluminum frames and/or bedded with pillars. My favorite "budget" stock is a Greybull Precision. It's a really good "all around" performer for me. I've got 2, and have friends with a few more and they've all done well. No issues. Build yourself a nice 8.5-10lb rifle. That seems to be a good weight for a "do all" in my book. Most stocks with a #5 contour barrel and scope will land somewhere in that range. Muscle brake or Holland brake gets my recommendation. Get a thread protector too and then you can shoot it without the brake if you want. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
