[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2056041, member: 61747"] My hunter creed is a 20" proof barrel and I run it suppressed. I can get 2800 out of a 140 but run 135's at 2800 for a softer load. RL26 in the creed is magic. I don't run this load in my comp rig tho. I run 140's at 2800 but in a 26" barrel. I think your ideas are great. I went with a Bighorn TL3 as I prefer a chassis and mags. My rifle is 10lbs suppressed in a 6.5 PRC but I can swap out barrels and bolt in 30 mins and have any short action cartridge set up I want. I run a chassis with folder for much more compact carry in my back pack, eberlestock scabbard style, and run arca swiss rail for mounting to a tripod. Often it is hard to find a good spot to shoot prone. This year my rifle killed 3 deer, 1 wolf, multiple yotes off the tripod. I killed a yote last week at 1124 off that tripod, excellent tool. Just something to consider while setting up your rifle. [/QUOTE]
