[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 272408, member: 2736"] I would recomend a 24 to26'' barrel in a hunter bench rest taper ( Lilja has the specs. for this taper if you want another brand of barrel. Most barrels taper at around .015 thousanths per inch of barrel . this taper is .024 thousanths per inch making it very stiff and not so muzzle heavy. (This is my favorite barrel taper). Using the laminated stock is a good idea because it will balance the rifle better. As for bedding 1 or 2 inches of the barrel I normally bed about 1 inch of the barrel as long as it is on a straight shank like the standard tapers,(Not a contour). With a capicity of 70+ grains of powder you wont gain much with a barrel longer than 25 or 26 inches long. And as far as the rail mount it can't hurt the stiffness of the action and may help. With a push feed action you don't have to do anything to the mag well if you don't want to. just lay the round in the action and close the bolt. If your smith wants to fill in the mag well thats ok to . J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
