[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1283029, member: 27192"] Would a 1/8 twist in a 24 inch barrel not be enough to stabilize? And if you have a second, talk me through what it would take to build a "semi custom"? Lets use the Tikka 223 as an example. What parts would you keep and what parts would you replace, where would you find the parts you were looking for, and how much of that would be necessary to involve a gun smith to do it right? As to the 6BR, thats not a bad idea, however I do plan on eventually having a second more long range capable hunting round; either extending the range of my 270 win with some rifle mods a bit, or going to a 7mm mag as I hunt deer and elk. So, ultimately I am hoping to end up with two rifles to do two different jobs; one for the short to long range varmint level hunting and target plinking, and then one to reach out for deer and other big game sized targets. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
