[QUOTE="Backcountry_IDN, post: 1508926, member: 106153"] Depending on how much you are wanting to spend, I would get another stock that your wife likes the feel of. Maybe a b&c and then definitely bed it. Since you are not looking for distance shots I would go with a 22in barrel as you stated. With rings and bases, I like Warne. All steel. Might make it a tad heavier. But not by much. On the barrel, it's personal preference with all the big name manufacturers at this point (criterion, bartlien, shilen, lija, etc). They are all going to shoot good with reloads from all that ive seen. I personally went with 2 xcalibers on my 2 customs. My 6.5-284 with reloads and is off a tikka action is right at .62moa and my .300wm which is a savage action is .55moa with factory ammo. They've worked for me. On a side note, ive heard savage's customer service is horrible. [/QUOTE]
