[QUOTE="Charles A, post: 133092, member: 231"] [ QUOTE ] I do have a couple questions though. First, what would be the best length for heavier (95+) .243 bullets? I think 1:9 twist is what I want. [/ QUOTE ] 24-26 inch with 1/8 twist. [ QUOTE ] I would like to see if building the gun heavier, with a better stock and recoil pad will cut the recoil enough to not need a brake. The extra muzzle blast from the brake could easily increase his perception of recoil. If I need a brake later, it will have to have the barrel threaded, and the brake indexed. These are not the sort of things I want to do myself. [/ QUOTE ] Recoil in a 10-12 pound 243w, is almost nil. However if it might be a problem, just get a brake put on with a thread cap, and if he dosn't need it take the brake off, and put the cap on. [ QUOTE ] Which rifle scopes have the longest eye relief? Thanks again. [/ QUOTE ] Generally Leupolds. Especially the fixed 6x's. They have long eye relief (4.5 inches), and a huge eyebox. Don't be scared of "only" 6 power. I shoot quite well out to a 1,000yds, with 6x. A FXII or FXIII 6x, with turrets, is hard to beat. Those that try ours, generally flock to'em. [/QUOTE]
