[QUOTE="TMR, post: 435424, member: 5819"] The 270AM rifle you have listed wouldn't be the best for that type of match. Although you can get away without a detachable mag setup, it is alot easier to use one. Barrel length should be kept 26-28" max. Trying to get a 30" barrel in and out of barricades is very difficult. Caliber will be up to you. We use 243's, 6.5x47 Lapua's, 6x47Lapua's in our tactical match rifles and have been very competitive. Alot of guys run 260's as well. I would probably almost go full custom unless you already own a 700P. The difference in money isn't much if anything. Here is what I would build: 26" M24 contour fluted 1-7.5 twist Badger M5 detachable mag setup 20 moa rail Action of your choice stock of your choice (Manners T2 is my personal preference) Jewel trigger Chamber in 243, throated for 115 Dtacs...... .585bc at 3000fps is hard to beat. This will be a very easy to shoot, mild recoil rifle. It will also be very flat shooting and buck the wind. BTW, check around as some of us stock components for spec builds and may have something that will fit the bill. [/QUOTE]
