[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 847803, member: 52437"] I understand what you are saying so i will try and answer your questions: 1. No it doesnt have to be synthetic stock if they really are that bad maybe I will consider a regular stock, its just it would **** me off if I scratch a beautiful wooden stock but not so much a synthetic stock. 2. I currently have shot my father in laws browning A-bolt 7mm mag, xbolt 300wsm, and my buddies 270. None of which have actully been synthetic. I was ok with all the recoil...yes the 300mag was a bit much after 10 shots or so and wasnt exactly "fun" to shoot but the primary purpose of this rifle will be hunting. Bench shooting will happen but mostly for pre-season sighting/practice. 3. My style of hunting: mostly in stands but I do have two fields I hunt that have 400 yard max distance. Doesnt mean I will shoot that far. Will be for deer but may go on an elk hunt next year. 4. Weight of rifle is unknown for me. I dont think it matters just as long as it isnt the HEAVIEST thing haha. I dont do a lot of walking. We have ATVs to get us within a few hundred yards of our final destinations. 5. Accuracy out of the box is probably my number two concern(next to I want a 3006 caliber) rather than how pretty the rifle looks but I do appreciate a nice looking rifle. as far as blued vs stainless I really dont care. I am not really ever out in rain to much and if I do get caught in it...I will be home in warmth by the end of that day will dry and clean the rifle. 6. action types are really unknown to me and so is trigger pulls except I know the brownings I shoot are right around 3lbs and feel nice to me. 7. barrel length and twist is another unknown to me but I would prefer something that will get me to 400 yards using a heavy enough bullet to take a deer. im sure 150s-180s would all work.
