[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 986319, member: 59541"] If you are doing a 6.5-284, definitely go with a LA to give you room for 130-140 grain bullets. I would go with a #3 contour if you aren't fluting it. This will save some weight. If you are fluting, a #4 will work well. Definitely go with a 26" barrel to take advantage of a slower burn powder. Can't go wrong with either a Brux or Bartlein barrel. Right now, Stockys Stocks is selling off their current inventory and they have Bobby Hart stocks on sale. Laminated with bedding block. [url=http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-538/Bobby-Hart-AccuBlock-Heritage/Detail]Bobby Hart AccuBlock Heritage Classic Remington 700 BDL Laminated Sporter Riflestocks WITH ALUMINUM BEDDING BLOCK[/url] Boyds stocks are nice when finished but do need a LOT of work. I have both Timney and Jewel triggers. The Timney is good if on a budget but if you can afford it, get a Jewel. I think you might have a hard time doing all of this for under $1000 and also under 9 lbs for a complete rifle but I wish you the best. I'm sure others on this site with more experience than me will have more suggestions. [/QUOTE]
