[QUOTE="trebark, post: 986291, member: 19172"] J E custom will tell you that the only advantage a light rifle has is weight. All other advantages go to the heavy rifle. I'm not saying ignore the weight but it should be low on the worry list. Length - go 28" or longer. With a BIG magnum like the 300RUM it will use all the barrel you give it. Contour - go with the heaviest you can stand. Twist - go 1:10 as this will even handle the 240SMK which is the biggest bullet available. Rifling - the consensus seems to be that cut rifling is the best when building an 'accurate' rifle. Stock - if you prefer a 'sporter' type stock, you have lots to choose from. If the one you choose does not have an aluminum chassis, be sure to bed the action into the stock. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-300rum-mcr-70809/#post494570[/url] [/QUOTE]
