[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 670187, member: 30902"] How much of the shooting both hunting and in the "shoots" is going to be standing supported vs prone on bipod and/or bags? The H-S precision sendero stocks are great for both applications especially sitting and shooting from a blind or off of a bench, and more than adequate for prone, but not as good as the tactical/varmint models that are more specifically set up for prone. The HS PSS model stocs and tactical varmint models will be better for prone but not as comfortable off of shooting sticks etc. If I were thinking of "the best" all around stocks for all applications I'd look at the M-40 clones, McMillan A3 Sporter, and the McMillan hunter models. As for twist rate I'm thinking you might want to go with the 1:8 or 1:8.5 for the heavier bullets but look at Berger's site and see what they specifically recommend. I'd also say for these applications you should consider the .260rem vs the .243, as it will give you much higher BC's and superior long range performance vs anything the .243 can throw down range. As far as the "feel" of the skins man that's so individual no one can really answer that for you. The B&C's are pretty smooth, but of course you can spray on grit to the areas you want more traction before coating the stock. Also consider cerakote if you can get it done vs the duracoat as it's far more permanent and not subject to being as easily worn or chipped. [/QUOTE]
