[QUOTE="PEI Rob, post: 218319, member: 3405"] My advise would be to find a stock you want first, then get a rifle to fit it. Sounds odd but very often getting your ideal stock takes MONTHS. I build Stevens 200 up for target comp, they work great if you are on a budget. Otherwise I would go to a full custom action. BTW, I have a beutiful long action stock to fit a Stevens 200. A hunting style stock came but I thought it was a tactical style so its for sale. Much ligher than laminate and already finished. PM me for info if you like. Just to add more than two cents, I think punching paper requires a heavy barrel and if I were to make a 600 yard rifle for paper and hunting big game, it would definately be a 7mm or 300 win mag. I think Marlin at fronteirtaxidermy has win mag heavys in stock at a VERY good price, I know he did awhile ago. Cheers, Rob [/QUOTE]
