[QUOTE="Zhomeguy, post: 2191325, member: 26101"] Lets not necessarily talk caliber but the rifle as you describe, nice wood stock in either 25 cal. You’ll find supporters for both, the issue with any production rifle is you’r likely only gonna find it in 1-10 twist. This limits your bullet options and the newer ones coming out in 25 cal like the 131 Blackjack or 135 Bergers are not shoot well. So expense wise I’d find a nice Rem 700 in either caliber you choose (personally i’d go with the 257 Weatherby) find it in a CDL version which usually has nice wood, pull the barrel and put a 1-8 twist barrel in a matching contour snd length of the factory barrel. It’ll take you 6 months to custom order the barrel, and I’d go Kreiger Direct, vs dealing with a retailer of other brands. Find a smith to rebarrel and chamber it. It’ll be a bit longer road but your gonna have a more accurate and versatile...I personally have built a few of this nature but not with wood stocks. Issues there that make real accurate shooters harder to achieve but it can be done. Touch base if you choose to, and still haven’t figure the route your gonna take. [/QUOTE]
