[QUOTE="rfd, post: 956577, member: 80476"] i dunno why, but i've been intrigued by the notion of a bottom feeder, plastic stocked bolt action for "long range" (quantify that with the yardage of yer liking). the three rifles that come to mind are the axis, x7 and rar. i poured over the minutiae spex of each and decided on the rar standard in .243win, which will arrive at me next week. add in an swfa 12x42 mrad i just got off the lrh classifieds, and a number of different bullet weights and manufacturers, powders, primers and cases, and in a few weeks i'll see how lucky i got with the rifle ... because with corner cutting materials and build, luck will be part of the accuracy equation to some degree. the stock fore end and butt will get "bedded and weighted", for sure. btw, the ruger american "predator" - with just a teeny bit beefier barrel (NOT a heavy weight) of the same 22" length is due to hit the stores next month. WHAT is ruger thinking?? why not a 24" or 26" heavy barrel??? dang! [/QUOTE]
