[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2196091, member: 104363"] The 6mm bullet is an excellent killer and it seems to fit your needs as a midrange performer, lighter animals. All the rest is getting into personal preference. My rifles weigh more, larger calibers. I'm 64 and it took me a while to figure out that "sitting and glassing" and not tromping around, exposes way more animals in the desert SW. With that in mind, a 24-26" medium contour barrel fits my needs. A light composite stock, a great adjustable bipod, 14 power or higher scope, high end quality, would probably net about 10 lbs or less. That could get you to 600 on a calm day I would roughly estimate. But, I would try to close that gap to be sure. If I built that with my gunsmith, I would guess you'll be ready to shoot after spending $2700 or more, since you have the action. Reloading supplies, optional $$. [/QUOTE]
