[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 110432, member: 10"] Depending on how heavy of a rifle you would want to build, I would start with a BAT Model M 1.450" diameter receiver on the light end and go up to the BAT Model L on the heavy end. For the Model M receiver, the 1.250" straight cylinder would work great. I would recommend at least a #8 contour to get as much barrel stiffness as possible. If you going to build a bench rifle then you might as well build a bench rifle with a decent amount of barrel. For the Model L receiver I would jump up to at least a 1-450" barrel diameter or even heavier again depending on how heavy you want this rifle. The difference in weight between these two rifles would vary from 20 lbs up to as much as you wanted. I have not used any of the Stiller or Kelby receiver but I think they are both offered with the standard magnum bolt face. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
