[QUOTE="Creedmoor shooter, post: 1508864, member: 72601"] Question 1: I'm running a dnz game reaper tactical one piece with a 20 moa base medium height. That just barely clears with a 50mm objective. Question 2: I would spend the money on getting a stock with a full aluminium bed block and bed the recoil lug area. If your keeping the stock I would bed the whole thing in devcon. Question 3: cant go wrong with either barrel. I have a criterion and it shoots great. I shoot it at 1350 yards regularly. My father has a shilen on his 22-250AI and it shoots well too. Flip a coin. I would run a lighter contour 24in barrel so your not sacrificing velocity. If you want lighter recoil the 6.5 will probably be the better route. Down range ballistics will be about the same if the 6.5 has a 140 and the 7mm with a 162. If you run both with a 140 the 6.5 will be better at distance. Depends how far you want to shoot [/QUOTE]
