[QUOTE="catorres1, post: 1019870, member: 80699"] What I like about it most is the M40 stock. Fits pretty well. But that cerekoted fluted barrel is pretty nice too! Still, the recoil levels are probably a bit much for an all day shooter. 20 or so pounds is not at all terrible, but compared to the, like 11 or something, of a 260, that's pretty significant. Even 15 vs 20 is probably significant, though I don't really know for sure. Well, gotta just see how things sort out over the next month. I think I'll probably just let this set for a few weeks while I carefully mull over the options and see what presets itself. The weatherby vanguard is still a pretty strong contender...it has the right stock, a good solid action and is still relatively cheap. Second probably would be a Rem LR rifle. Both have good stocks. Rebarrel either and the price comes to somewhere around 12-1400. Essentially, I would be paying 6-800 for an action and a B&C stock. Even starting with the cheapest SPS, by the time I replace barrel and stock, I can't do better I don't think. [/QUOTE]
