We have several "Target" rifles that we are in the process of building. Unfortunately we were renovating our shop and I had complications with my spinal cord surgeries. We have a "State of the ART" shop with all new equipment, but just need to finish the electrical and some cosmetic (paneling/ lighting).
We have some awesome builds with all the components with exception of some custom designed JGS Reamers and Whidden dies.
Along the way we picked up some extra components for doing custom builds for other shooters/hunters. Now Jill and I have more rifles than we can use for hunting (never say enough). We picked up a 6.5 mm Bartlein 5R "T" Gain twist 8.75:1 X 7.82:1 #4 Contour 27" blank.
What Stock and Caliber & barrel length would you put this barrel in for an AWESOME hunting rifle? Action & Triggers we can get. Take in mind that this is a 6.5mm so there are a few options on calibers. Want it from Elk on down and a field/carry/backpack rifle. Think of what you would want in YOUR 6.5 and can or can't afford.
We are looking to build something for the 2022 hunting season to have someone have an exceptional rifle.
Thanks
Len & Jill

Seriously though, I love mine, and that length (26" finished) would suite it pretty well for a fast punch. Clymr stock shouldn't look bad if the brake isn't too long. For more traditional, go PRC. I don't like to go less than a PRC for elk use. Shorten barrel to 24" if desired. Mine runs the 123 AH at 3,500 with H1000 with a 24" tube. Pretty sure we could go faster if we played with other options.
