Advice on a rifle build

[Scrumbag]

Hello folks,


Finally getting round to building my "beanfield" rifle. (Will also use for target shooting at Bisley)


Will be a Mausingfield Action

20 MOA Rail

Bartlein 1/8.25" twist, 13 Profile, 26" Length

Threaded for a moderator

Not decided on trigger yet. Probably a Jewel


Wondering which stock to go for – Will be a McMillan I think


Would appreciate thoughts on


Game Warden, Game Scout or Tactical Hunter are my thoughts.


Best wishes,


Scrummy

Prone target shooting? What type of supports?
Or what position?
Benchrest?

 

[Scrumbag]

Prone for targets

If anyone is interested will be chambered in 7x64

Hey Scrummy I've built quite a few WILDCATS over the years; my favorite "Bean Field" LG for out to 500 yards is my .17 VLR. Shoots a .37 gr Berger VLD Molly seated deep into the lands, 22 grs. of Vihtavorhi N135 off of .223 Lapaua brass down a 26 inch Douglas Stainless 3/4 inch straight barrel with a 6 twist produces the fastest, flatest shooting LAZER BEAM and even leaves a very nice and thick white vapor trail straight to the Dead Hogs Head! Installed a Jewell trigger on a Remington 700 Stainless Action which my Gunsmith Trued and Chambered (actually he built the rifle). Laid it on top a McMillen Flame Colored Thumb-hole 3 inch Stock with the high cheek piece. Mounted a new Leoupold 6.5 x 20 50mm with a 30mm tube on top! I'm NOT even gonna say the Velocity I get outta her because no one will believe me; but I was EXPLODING the BERGERS at 70 yards during the load work up. TRUST ME the Groundhogs FEAR this Rifle! I whack DIMES all day long at 300 yards and have shot .143 groups in 5 shot strings at 100 yards. No Recoil, and I see the ENTIRE SHOW in the SCOPE! Doesn't get much Sweeter than that! I named her "PAINLESS"!

Nice rig sir! I'm going for a 7x64 which will do deer from a high seat (what we call the treestand) and some targets (nice and slippery 7mm pills)

I really like the Game Scout, they fit me well. You just need to get behind them and go with the most comfortable one.

Good luck of that happening in the UK!

If I'm proned out, the A-5 with an adjustable comb wins hands down. It's still my favorite stock for prone shooting.

Other than certain rails me too. Adjustable A5 for years a long time fav.

Thanks folks, decided to roll the dice and go with the new Game Warden...

Good choice, I think the game scout has a little too much drop

That is what the gunsmith recommended
