[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1032822, member: 22069"] I would consider the barrel fluting on the Extreme Weather model to be mostly decorative. It really won't have much practical effect on weight, barrel cooling, or accuracy. Going with the Ultimate Shadow SS model and putting it in a B&C stock would be a practical option. However, it may or may not be a drop-in proposition. Some fitting by a gunsmith may be required. It would be wise to factor that into your planning. If no fitting is needed, you will be that much ahead of the game. You might also consider going with a 7mm Rem Mag. It would allow for more long term flexibility, especially since you have elk hunting listed as a potential application. You can always load your Rem Mag down to 7-08 levels, but you cannot load a 7-08 up to Rem Mag levels. As well, if you ever decide to do a build on your rifle, the long action with a magnum bolt face will leave you with more options than you would have with a short action. [/QUOTE]
