[QUOTE="KsKevin, post: 2440738, member: 116689"] Working on my next build for what will primarily be a target gun (May get into matches and probably some limited use for varmints/coyotes). Here’s my current thinking but would appreciate input CHAMBERING: 6mm for sure and leaning towards 6XC (consider 6CM and 6x47 Lapua but like the longer neck of XC vs CM, like the touch more powder and better brass / die availability vs 6x47) ACTION: leaning towards Terminus Zeus (like the bolt throw). Alternative Impact Precision 737R (maybe Defiance, like BAT but didn’t want to spend the extra here) BARREL: Bartlein 7 or 7.5TW, 26”, M24/40 contour (considering do I drop a pound and go with REM varmint contour as wondering if balance of rifle will be off with M24??) CHASSIS: studied this one a lot and came down to MDT ACC or XLR Envy. I’m leaning towards XLR Envy Triggertech Diamond Hawkins brake and maybe later run suppressed Biggest questions 1. Any major concerns with 6XC. I’ve found brass and dies so seems good to go. Likely run Berger 105g HYbrid. 2. A lot of action choices. Any reason terminus or impact would not be a great choice? 3. Barrel contour..given total package, any concerns with M24 at 6.3#? Will balance of rifle be ok or should I drop down to REM varmint contour? 4. Chassis…The more I’ve researched the more I’m leaning hard to the XLR Envy. Any reason this wouldn’t be an excellent choice? Fire away, let’s hear it guys 😎 [/QUOTE]
