[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 2311961, member: 68758"] Regardless of the application, a "custom" rifle is just that- tailored to your specific needs. For hunting rifles, I'd ask the following... What game? Maximum expected range? This will provide guidance for minimal energy requirements when selecting chambering. How critical is weight? Big difference between toting it to a stand, and a high-altitude, multi-day pack trip. Weight requirements, chambering selected will then help determine barrel length and contour. Stock selection-chassis? fiberglass? wood? (traditional or laminate?) Weight requirements affect suitability here. This selection is of course part of the aesthetics- what "look" do you want to achieve; from a traditional blued/walnut stock to aluminum chassis system/Cerakote. That's a start. [/QUOTE]
