[QUOTE=".30US, post: 916626, member: 19108"] I'm building a mid-weight hunting and plinking rifle for shooting off a bipod or improvised rest. I'll shoot a few deer, mostly hogs, and, maybe, an antelope or black bear, if I'm lucky. I'd like to play in the occasional F-Class match just to stay in practice, but I'm not going to modify my build for competition, since I'll probably shoot more rocks and steel at that distance than scored paper. I really planned to build a .308 for the class, but when I found a 700 long action at a real bargain and couldn't sell off a fluted Palma contour .264" 1:8 barrel I've had sitting for a few years, I decided to build on it. I would rather have something a bit lighter for this build, but this barrel is long since paid for and needs a home. I'll be shooting factory ammo at the end of class to evaluate how I did on the build, but at least I'll walk away with some fire-formed brass. I ordered Redding dies a little while ago. As for a stock, I am trying a B&C Medalist M40. If it works, then I'm set and it was a reasonable price. If not, then I know, and I'll go back to one of my old standby makers, or finally try a Manners that I've had my eye on. Thanks, again, for the help. [/QUOTE]
