Stock for new build

[bretterath]

Building a new rifle and building off a AntiX LA mag bolt face. Deciding on a 6.5 saum or prc, 7 prc or 300 prc. I have changed my mind so many times on what to go with. This will be do it all rifle. Mainly deer elk bear antelope.
I need to decide what stock to get that is designed well so I can spot my own shots if possibly. This will have a Ti pro brake on it and not sure to go with a 22" or 24". This is gonna be a lighter weight mountain rifle. Want it to be right about 8.5 lbs scoped

What type of grip do you prefer?

 

[bretterath]

I haven't had any newer stocks lately, have used some xlr chassis and tikka stock and did like the Mesa altitude stock grip

I have a Stocky's VG2 that weighs 1.5 lbs pillar and glass bedded.

I want to keep my stock weight 32 oz or less. Kinda liked the game warden 2.0 but read on here that someone said the GW was not great and tough to spot shot cause of the way the back of stock was designed

I built with the same components that you are using. Went with the AG alpine hunter. You may want to check out the AG line!

Consider the Manners Pro Hunter.
25.85 oz. With pic rail, Arca rail, 1"recoil pad, & 1 rear flush cup added.
Feels really nice !!

Building a 7SAUM on this one.

I am having a 7SAUM built using a McMillan Game Warden LRH stock.

300 Norma Mag AI Shorty Build

Thought I'd start a build thread for my 300 NM 40 degree Ackley improved. My objective is to send 225 ELDMs at 2800 fps from a 19" barrel in a sub 10lb suppressed hunting setup. I went with a BAT Vesper action, Unknown Munitions bottom metal, Bix n Andy trigger, and a #4 contour 19" 9 twist...

I have looked at those but want to handle that one

I went 7 rem mag, as I am kind of simplistic and didn't want to worry about trying to find brass. I am glad I did, getting 2920 with 175 Berger elites with a fairly mild load. Shoots pretty easily in the .3's, Proof prefit 24" w/8.4 twist, TI Pro 5 port.

I have a picture that says 8 lb 2.4 oz with a Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50. That scope weighs 21.7 oz.

Sorry….that was in response to post #9

BIL swears by the GW 2.0. I like a traditional style grip. I prefer an AG comp privateer or manners ucs uc plus.

With that ti pro 5 can you spot shots? I have a couple ti pro and they are awesome
