[QUOTE="CarbonLead, post: 1367490, member: 97696"] I am looking to set up a lightweight 7mm Rem mag off of a trued/blue printed Rem 700 action. It would be nice to get a barrel and stock for under $1,000. I was needing some input on barrels, twist rates, and stocks please. I am wanting to try and select a twist rate for the 168 grain Berger VLD or the 180 grain Berger VLD so I figure a 26” Barrel with a 1:9 or 1:8 twist?? So far I was thinking a McGowen percision Barrel and having them thread the muzzle and add their turbo brake to it. That or Krieger chrome moly with 5r rifling. As far as contours i was thinking lightweight or standard Sporter to keep the barrel under 3lbs. As far as a stock I was thinking Bell and Carlson Mountain or Alaskan Sporter trying to keep the stock around 2lbs. If that is a good route to take or there are some better Barrel and stock selections out there for under $1,000 let me know please! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
