[QUOTE="Tjscharp, post: 1258313, member: 69123"] [B][/B] I am at the beginning of a build. I am a machinist an intend to chamber my own rifle, make my own brake etc.(Finally got permission to use company equipment to do so. :D ) I picked up a donor rifle from an auction which is a Sako AV, which happened to be re-barreled in 7mm STW already. Although the barrel is 26", it is way too thin for my liking. To anyones knowledge , is there any chassis out there that could be modified, without too much trouble, to fit the AV action? I haven't decided which barrel manufacturer I will go with at the point, I am certainly open to suggestions, but I am leaning towards either a 1:8 or 1:9 twist barrel for the heavier pills. (Would the 1:8 twist over-stabilize a 140- 150 gr bullet?) I am leaning towards the 175 Nosler long range or the 195gr Bergers anyways, but I would like to keep my options open. I want a 28" barrel with at least a light varmint profile for the barrel contour. If you were at the beginning of a build, what considerations would you take into account? Thank you for any responses. [/QUOTE]
