[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1402660, member: 7999"] I agree with all the advise that has been given. Look at [URL]https://www.stockysstocks.com/[/URL] They have some composite stocks that won't break the bank that have worked very well for us. Along with most everything else out there. As a mono metal pure copper bullet maker I will throw in my .02 on bullets. We have done lots of work with the 300rum. With your factory rifle you have a 10" twist. This will mean that you won't be able to run as heavy with copper bullets as you can with lead core bullets due to the density of lead being higher than copper. At least in a high bc vld style bullet for long range hunting. Our 181g Hammer Hunter will run at mid 3450fps, give or take, in the rum and maintain good terminal performance past 1000y. 1800fps to 1100y at 3000' elev.
