[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 153239, member: 10"] Your choice in barrel and twist is exactly what I would recommend. Personally, for the type of rifle you are discribing I would go with a good single shot receiver. Once you get used to it you will never feel lacking with a single shot in the field and there are more benefits then disadvantages with the single shot. If you were my customer coming to me, I would recommend either a Lawton M7500 single shot or a Borden Alpine single shot receiver. If you wanted a repeater, I would recommend a Borden Timberline receiver or a Neiska Bay. The purpose of the weak side port is so that you can stay on the rifle and feed it with your weak hand without coming off the rifle with your trigger hand. There are a couple ways to go here. YOu can get a left port, right bolt configuration that will be fed and eject from the left. You can also get a left & right port with right bolt configuration which in most cases you will feed the rifle from the left and the cases will eject out the right. If you go this route, make sure the ejection port is long enough to eject a live round. It can be a pain to have to pull the bolt to clear the rifle. Personally I do not see much advantage with the dual port design and prefer just a single fed/eject port, right or left, up to you. For a stock, I would go with a McMillan A-5 or a Manners MCS-T. They are perfect for bench shooting, bipod shooting or even offhand if you have to. Just great all around stocks. I would also recommend a barrel contour of at least a #7 Lilja. This is basically the same as a Rem sendero contour but with a longer full diameter barrel shanke. If you want a bit less weight you could go with a fluted barrel. Good shooting, you will really like this rifle. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
