[QUOTE="Timeout, post: 1427260, member: 50852"] I have a recommendation regarding your barrel choice. Since you have stated this will be a hunting rifle, I would highly recommend a lighter barrel contour. I really like the Krieger #3 contour for a hunting rifle. Packing extra weight in a hunting rifle is not a plus. Also a muzzle heavy, unbalanced rifle, is not desirable in my view. It is a fallacy that accuracy will suffer substantially from the heavy contours to say a #3 Sporter Krieger barrel. I have shot and carried the heavies. The only advantage I have found is that the heavies will not heat the barrel as quickly. In a hunting rifle, the cold bore shot is the only one of great concern. All the rest are just noise. A number 3 Krieger will likely be capable of greater accuracy than you or I can shoot. If it's not too late, contact Krieger and switch barrel contours. After that, you may want to consider a McMillan stock with edge fill. [/QUOTE]
