[QUOTE="gebhardt02, post: 744534, member: 12695"] You are right, there wasn't a whole lot of "uniqueness." What I did was keep track of the calibers suggested, stocks, barrel length, etc. and then determined what the most popular choices were based off of this information. There are so many good choices for cartridge selection that you can get dizzy trying to come up with the "best" for everything. It was easily apparent that the majority of folks wanted a lighter contour barrel and the length most requested was 24". We can certainly build any other caliber and I'd be more than excited to build a 6XC or 243AI. I was just trying to find the most popular choices and bring them all into one single package, and the 22-250 was it. I think an 8 twist barrel will stabilize the bullets most commonly used for harvesting fur or even just sending heavy bullets at LR. I'm sorry to have disappointed you in the selection of components. I'm still pretty excitedto see how this turns out though. I might have to talk the wife into letting me build one for our personal collection. I'll keep this thread updated with progress on this rifle. Geb [/QUOTE]
