[QUOTE="coopersguide, post: 2341131, member: 86473"] First post for me - long time reader. First, I want to say I have learned a TON from the post on this site. A lot of great people with huge experience that are willing to share. Best site I have followed... Much appreciated! I am in the process of having a custom rifle built (1st one) and have a couple of questions I would appreciate any thoughts on. My goal is a light(er) weight rifle for deer hunting in the back country that I can still accurately shoot to 600 yards. Accuracy is very important. Am building with the following: 260 AI Bartlein barrel 23" #19 Mag Sporter .650 Remington 7 action Manners EH1 stock (not yet purchased) Trigger Tech trigger My questions are: 1. With the Bartlein barrel I have on order would it look ok on a Manners EH1 (don't want it to look overly small inside the stock)?? Also considering a Game Warden #2?? 2. I want to glass bed - but NO idea on what bottom metal I want?? I DO want lighter and have no problem with a BDL type floor plate. What Mfg. / model would I want? I am understanding that Manners will contour to a number of different bottom metals. Cost is really not an issue. Want to glass bed to allow as much accuracy as possible so I am leaning away from Manners MCS DBM Mini Chassis? Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe [/QUOTE]
