[QUOTE="grit, post: 640945, member: 4112"] I would up the barrel contour to a five, maybe a six. Flute it and shorten it to hit target weight. Skip the light contour, it's too whippy for the big case and bullet. Don't see a brake. That baby's gonna need brakes. Any side port design for prone shooting. I don't like the magazine release, or magazine, hanging down on a hunting rifle. Totally at odds with the lines and function. Check out the HS Precision with the short mag box. Or, go with a standard hinged floor plate and a Wyatts center feed box. This will save some $ too. If you need five rounds in the box.....call me, I'll kill it in one or two :D. Upgrade the recoil lug. Pin a 20 MOA rail on. A stock pack and some neoprene spacers will do the job of the adjustable cheek piece, save coin, and give you a great place for extra rounds, and a drop card. [/QUOTE]
