[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 272391, member: 14435"] I talked to the smith I am going to use and he suggested the same thing. Going to the wsm case and still going 6.5mm. Looks like thats the plan, a few final decisions and the wait begins... What would your opinon be for the longest barrel that this reciever could support? I am going to use a laminate stock (I could also bed the first few inches of the barrel) and am trying to finalize the barrel length/contour. My local guy is suggesting to stay around 26 inches in lenth for a #5 or 6 contour. I was kind of leaning towards a 30 inch in a number 6 contour or possibly a palma 30. A few other questions: Does filling the magazine port with a welded/brazed in follower make the action any stiffer? Would a quality rail also help make the action stiffer as opposed to seperate bases? These would obviously not be things that really matter but more of a curiosity. [/QUOTE]
