[QUOTE="trebark, post: 987128, member: 19172"] Fluting - as far as I'm concerned, there is no downside to fluting. Both of my longrange rigs have fluted barrels. Plus they look cool especially if you paint the flutes a complementary color to the rest of the barrel. Bullets - If your intent is to stay at 1000 or closer, look at the 208Amax, 210VLD and the 215hybrid. Although the 230 has a higher BC the higher velocity of the other three bullets overcomes this. But when the distances get long (beyond ~1200) the BC of the 230 will take over. Throating - yes, if you can tell JE Custom the bullet you want to shoot he should be able to throat it correctly with no further info. Stocks - the biggest issue you're going to run into is that your action is a Savage Stevens. Not sure there are many manufactures making stocks for them. Check out [URL="http://www.stockysstocks.com"]www.stockysstocks.com[/URL]. They generally have a good selection. Alternatively, look at [url=http://www.sharpshootersupply.com/]Sharp Shooter Supply - The Savage Specialists[/url] they are 'savage specialists' and it looks like they have some nice laminate stocks in the $300 range.
