[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1703848, member: 69478"] My first long range rifle I built I went with a 28” Sendero contour with a brake, chambered in .308 Norma Magnum. It’s perfect if you’re setup and shooting, not so great to carry around and maneuver. My second build is my all purpose rifle, chambered in .284 WIN with a 26” Bartlein #3 barrel. I feel this is perfect for carrying and is maneuverable, but also is heavy enough to be nice in the shooting bags. My .284 I built for shots out to 700 yards, the .308 Norma is for anything out to 1200 yards. If you wanted one rifle to do the job of those two, I think a Bartlein 3B or #4 would be perfect, those are like a #5 from Shilen, Hart, Krieger, etc. [/QUOTE]
