[QUOTE="eshorebwhntr, post: 1025034, member: 17112"] I think you are on the right track. 1. 26-27" length 2. When you have it chambered, load a dummy round to 3.600 with a 168 or 180 or whatever to 3.600 COAL. Tell your smith to cut the throat so that the bullet is approx. .000-.010 off the lands at that COAL. This will give you the optimal seating depth with Bergers (most guns shoot the Berger well at that jump) that will run in a magazine and give you some life to let the throat wear out some. 3. Rem Sendero would be as heavy as I would go. I think a #5 fluted is optimal. #4 if you want to skim some more weight off. 4. Fluted for sure if its me. Looks cool like you said, saves some weight, adds a little stiffness. Mainly looks cool. 5. 1-9 will do good for everything you've stated as goals for this rifle. I would personally add a brake and a threaded muzzle cap so you could run it either way you like. Good luck with your build. [/QUOTE]
