[QUOTE="Sandwarrior, post: 743995, member: 19099"] Geb, I just read the last post you put up in my e-mail before responding to this. I really have to question why you put it out to the masses what they want, when all they wanted is what they can go down to the store and buy right off the shelf. What you described is exactly that with the exception of the twist being a 1-8". Off the shelf right now, one maker Savage, makes a 1-9". That twist will allow for heavier .22 cal bullets. But, .22 cal heavies come nowhere near what 6mm or 6.5mm heavies will do at long range. And still have more lattitude with bullet weights. My suggestion is toss out all the stuff you can buy over the counter. Start again, with items that are truly custom. Including rounds you can buy over the counter, but not in all bullet weights. Make this a custom rifle. Not a custom rifle that copies what you can buy already built. [/QUOTE]
