[QUOTE="Jnm300ultra, post: 1990397, member: 88071"] +1 on the Bartlin 3B is heavy barrel contour. I have a Gap non typical hunting rifle with a 26” and a mini bastard break. The barrel is fluted not enough I think. My 300 Winchester Mag has a Bell and Carlson and Leupold vx6 is 10 pounds. If I were you I would look at a 3 instead of the 3B barrel. Also make sure you will always be able to shoot lead or Berger bullets. I had a great Nosler Patriot rifle in 6.5-284 Norma and had to shoot copper bullets and performance suffered. I made a poor shot in a black tail deer in the back quarter near his spine and he never flinched. It was a straight pass through. It was a terrible shot but looked like a pencil hole. With copper bullets I went up to a 280 Ackley because I have to shoot copper ammunition, also for a larger round. If shooting at a elk at 800-900 yards I wouldn’t go with a 6.5 anything. Many guys do but I shot my bull elk in the lungs twice at 75 yards and he took it like a champ. Ran 25 yards and then shot again and he fell over. This is just my advice. Good luck with your build.
