[QUOTE="KenParker, post: 1503788, member: 107503"] Hello, I'm new to the forum and to the long range shooting, I'm a hunter from Switzerland. I decide to get close to the reloading ammunition and the long range shooting. For doing that I choose to build my first full custom rifle (I already own an half custom, 325 Savage): I'm a bit on a budget since I have to buy the rifle and the reloading equipment. I make research on internet (probably not the best way to get all right), but I learn quite a bit. After couple weeks of research I finally find my composition and my caliber: 300 Norma Magnum - Kelbly Atlas Tactical Long Action - Timney Trigger 2 sage Calvin Elite - Hollands Muzzle Brake - Leupold VX 6 HD 4-24x52 (remove from the 325 WSM) - March gen II scope rings - Stock?? (Still in doubt, because in Europe, McMillan and Manners are expensive!! maybe a Bell&Carlson, GRS Bifrost or I'm open to suggestion) - Lothar Walther barrel I choose Lothar Walther barrel because they're in Europe, so much less taxes. I'm gonna use this rifle mostly at the range (not even long range, 300 meters :-) hopefully couple times a years 600-800 meters) and sometimes to hunt. I'll be shooting 20-30 rounds a day! I plan to use 210 gr VLD Hunting and/or 230 gr Hybrid Target. Now my question: Barrel contour? Like I said I would to shoot 10-20 rounds without worrying about the heating barrel. Barrel length? 26" or 28" Barrel twist? Like I said before I'm completely new to this world, so don't laugh to much and I'm open to any suggestion. So far I only ordered the Action. Thank you P.S: I hope my english is not that bad! [/QUOTE]
