[QUOTE="rdm, post: 286778, member: 1053"] Thanks for the help. Great info. Let me pick your brains some more. I'm really leaning toward a Krieger heavy target contour (#9 I believe), stainless, 26", with 11" twist per the advice I've been given here. I'll be sure to ask for it to be cut with a match chamber. I will have the reciever and bolt trued. All by Krieger if possible. Around $850. I was digging through a spare parts drawer at the house and found a Tubbs 4-way adjustable buttplate I forgot I even had. I'll probably cut down the H-S varmint stock and install the buttplate and a cheekpiece I found on desert warrior products website. I will have to widen the barrel channel for that contour and skim bed the barrelled action. I'll only have to buy the cheekrest and some bedding compound going this way. So for around $70 I get the joy of butchering and rebuilding a perfectly good H-S Precision varmint stock. Top it all with a Leupold custom shop VX3 long range 6.5-20x40 with TMR reticle and M1 turrets in badger base and burris XTR 30mm rings. I have this set up on my 7mm STW and really love the TMR. Around $1200. I'll try different reloads with 175-180 SMK, A-Max, and Bergers in front of RL15 and Varget. I have a brick or 2 of Fed 210's to set them off. I have a Harris 9"-13" swivel bipod with leg notches and podlock. Is this to tall for F-class? Still need to snag a shooting mat though. What trigger would recommend for the M70 short action? Does this sound like a good place to start or just a mess? Am I missing or leaving out anything? Sorry for all the questions. I just want to get it right and believe in the "Buy Once, Cry Once" philosophy. Again Thanks to all who replied. [/QUOTE]
