    Does anyone know who makes this stock?

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this or not? I found this stock for sale on ebay. The seller said he thought it was a Boyds but thought it was an older model. I can't find it on their web site. I would buy this one but I need a long action and this one is short. If anyone has one...

    Which 6.5 for a short barrel?

    Just getting ready to rebarrel an rifle to a 6.5. Rifle will be long action with either a 20 or 22" barrel. I do a lot of hunting in thick brush so I want something short.

    Varmint\Medium game rifle build caliber selection?

    The 270 and 280 have both crossed my mind. I am however,leaning more in the direction of the 25-06 because of the lighter weight bullets available.

    Varmint\Medium game rifle build caliber selection?

    I'm building a new rifle off an old Remington 721 action. The rifle will primarily be used for coyote, hogs, and deer (in that order) and enough power to take a mule deer if the opprotunity was ever available. I do want to stick with a long action round and something without a lot of recoil...

    barrel length for a 270 Win?

    the rifle currently has a 22" barrel (30-06) and handles superbly. I am however going with a heavier barrel and maybe 20" would balance out better. What will I loose with the 270 going with a shorter barrel? I havent completely ruled out 24" if it will give me a lot of improvement.
