[QUOTE="ndking1126, post: 1968421, member: 26820"] Another vote for NSS. The first time I bought from him I went with a Shilen because I could get it blued for no additional cost. The second time I bought Shilen because the first barrel shot so well. The second one hasn't disappointed either. My only complaint is that they are more of a straight taper. I would have preferred a standard taper on my second barrel. I went 26" with Savage Varmint contour and B&C Medalist stock. It's my bench rifle and too heavy to walk with. Second rifle is a Savage Heavy Sporter 24" with B&C Sporter stock. For me, it's the perfect balance of light enough to do some walking, but thick enough to give you that extra confidence of shooting a heavy barrel. It's a little front heavy, and not that well balanced. You'll want some kind of a rest to shoot it off of, even if it's just a piece of 2x4 or resting your hand on a tree trunk. My next rifle I'm building I'm sticking with a 24" standard sporter barrel, and that will be my walking/hiking rifle. I can't help with stocks because I've never used DBM. I have a full length aluminum bedded Hogue on the way. I'm excited to give it a try. I'm very happy with the B&Cs that I have though. [/QUOTE]
