[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2441575, member: 27307"] At this point in time it's important to consider lead times for the completion of components which will have to be ordered from the original manufacturer. [B]XLR[/B] states 4-5 months completion time (unless instock at a supplier) [B]MDT[/B] states OUT OF STOCK, no time frame for completion (unless instock at a supplier) [B]Bartlein[/B] states 10-12 months for a custom ordered barrel with some completed faster because of caliber place in line. Currently available from Bartlein: [ATTACH type="full"]340766[/ATTACH] The 'BB' in the serial number at the beginning of the list in Bartlein's newest steel formulation which is more resistant to wear, yielding a longer barrel life. This is a more costly variation but it is what will work and can be shipped immediately. The twist rate is perfect for your selection. You can also utilize the second level suppliers for several of the barrel makers but expect to pay a premium for having stock on hand. [B] Brakes and suppressors[/B] are controlled by the rule books for each competition. Be aware of restrictions first then make your decision. Jail time for suppressor orders is running 6 months minimum. [B]Triggers[/B] are very personal but Trigger Techs can supply one to suit your beginning aspiration. [B]Actions[/B] will depend on what's available and where. BAT will win top honors in the opinion polls. I use the Pierce Engineering actions or Kelbly's Atlas actions for F-Class: [URL]https://www.pierceengineeringltd.com/pierce-f-tr-action/[/URL] [URL]https://www.kelbly.com/actions-steel-atlas-tactical/[/URL] Be aware that your chassis choices will be limited by the actions they are made for. [B]Chamber: [/B]For 600 yards I use the 6BR or variations and for longer I've used the Dasher out to and including 1,000 yards. These will provide excellent ease of loading with tons of data to use and have proven track records for accuracy and winning. This part is a no-brainer. The very best brass is available also. Enjoy the process! 😊 [/QUOTE]
