[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1075156, member: 25383"] Then of course I'd stick with the PPC or whatever derivative (there are several). Buying a stock is one thing, but bedding it is another. Off the bench, I like the McMillan Edge, but with Tom doing the work. Yes he's that good. Kelby and Borden are also at the top of their game along with Dwight Scott. I wouldn't be afraid of any of them. I would opt for a single shot custom action, as the price tag has seriously came down thru the years. Barrel wise, it's kind of a ******* match. Krieger gets all the nods, but seems to rarely win meets. I kind of like the ones that start with the letter "B". Boyer uses nothing but Shilen barrels, and he's won more than anybody else. Kind of tells me that a cut barrel is not always at the top of the game. If it were me I'd go with a Lilja or a Ron Pence barrel (Pence is hard to get, but known to be the best out there). I think in the end it's the chamber reamer and the trigger puller as they all make good barrels. (although Calfee says he rejects 60% of the new barrel blanks sent to him). Optics are a killer! And I mean a serious killer. You could probably get by with a Sitron or some other high end piece. Bare in mind that guys like Boyer don't use the same scopes you and I are forced to buy (same with barrels by the way). gary [/QUOTE]
