[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 427267, member: 656"] This rifle will "mostly" be used for a long range target/hunting rifle, fired prone off of a Harris or my Bald Eagle cast iron set up (which is ROCK SOLID!)........ HOWEVER, if I ever make it back out to CO, I might have to pack it as my Dad insists on my lightweight .35 Whelen (he bowled over two Elk with it pushing 300 yards and is sold on that caliber!). I *could* just make him carry his .30-06 BAR and me carry the thumper Whelen with it's brush happy AND LIGHTWEIGHT 22 inch barrel. My biggest problem is that an injury at work has given me incredibly painful 40 degree Scolosis (which I did NOT have as a child, even though I don't have the X-rays to prove that because I was fine until an incident at work). IMAGINE THIS RIFLE AS A LONG-RANGE REPEATER "BEANFIELD RIFLE." I can't climb and stay in a treestand anymore comfortably, sad to say, and I'm only 38, HOWEVER I have two Uncles with farms with obtainable shots out to 2000 yards, with hills that make shooting even easier. MY BIGGEST CONCERN is hanging a really heavy axle on the Action, thus somewhat of a compromise is in order. With the Pac-Nor Palmas, the breech is FIVE INCHES LONG, of which I would fully bed to relieve some of the action strain and flex. I'd love to own a custom action, but with my health bills, I am having to build this rifle a bit at a time, and somewhat on a budget. With the additional insight, perhaps someone might have some additional comments. ALL are appreciated! Thanks for all that have commented so far!!!!! [/QUOTE]
