[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 95869, member: 8947"] Summerland which is just north of Penticton. To get into a wildcat inexpensively, the best deal is to get a Stevens 200 in a 7RM or 300WM, then get a barrel to spin on. You are near Pouce Coupe so Bevan King might be a great source. Plus his prices are quite low since he doesn't call them 'match' barrels. Still shoot very well. If you don't mind single feeding and the orig stock (which you can modify easily), the whole project could be in the $700 range. That's not bad for a hot rod rifle. As Fifty has said, the goal is pretty tough with present components and really not necessary. Better to go with a higher BC bullet, then drive a lighter bullet too fast. Odds are a 165 to 170gr 6.5 will be available. Drive that to 3100fps and LR performance will be amazing. You can't go fast enough with a 'stubby' bullet to keep up with a streamlined one.
