[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1634790, member: 27307"] My calculations from an AR10 platform at 16.5" is your limit might be 600 yards at best but that's just playing with numbers. Your limit is what you can safely and humanely put down the prey. Proof Research makes the Sendero profile 6.5mm barrels in 16.5" length, no others. Bartlein makes a terrific #3 contour which can be fluted but the weight savings at 16.5" is probably only 4 ounces at best. I don't go any smaller on contours. The answer is what you like aesthetically, what looks best to you and handles the way you are most comfortable. Manners makes some excellent hunting style stocks and Tom has added a new cheek piece which weighs 1.8 ounces! Take a look at what is available right now and ask about the cheek piece. Enjoy the process! [/QUOTE]
