[QUOTE="Jeffpatton00, post: 1943121, member: 97649"] You guys are all a great source of knowledgeable info and it's much appreciated. My proposed rifle would be used for ELR so weight isn't critical, since I won't be humping it through the brush. I don't have a budget yet, but your inputs are helping me develop one. Money doesn't grow on trees so budget isn't unlimited, plus I do have a wife so the project must ultimately meet the "wife test." I got a good one, though, and she's pretty understanding. Given the numbers I'm seeing, it's likely I'll build this thing over time, one piece at a time, especially since I'll want the assembled components to be capable of ELR precision, which is the only way I'll ultimately find out if [I]I'm[/I] capable of ELR precision. Regarding re-purposing the barrel, I'd forgotten about the gas port, thx for mentioning that, P7M13. I do like the idea of easily-changed barrels, although that alone is likely a force multiplier for this addiction we're all enjoying (some wives might instead say "suffering from"). Pls keep the info coming, and especially your results with your chosen components. I'm researching every item mentioned since this is a great education when converting from gas guns, which I'm familiar with, to the interaction between the components of bolt guns. [/QUOTE]
