[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2030383, member: 69192"] If you do the homework there are plenty of "out-of-the-box" rifles out there that are in the 5-6 pound range that are guaranteed to be 3/4-1" MOA out of the box; but.....they "ain't a cheap date"!!! I have several older Ruger 77s that I have built (6-7 pound range) that I have put a quality custom barrel on that shoot very well using the existing, donor barrel's contour. As for the weight factor and barrel length I do not believe there would be enough weight difference between the 20-22 inch barrel over a 24-26 inch barrel to make that much difference, however in the cartridges you have written about the shorter barrel length will make a difference in velocity. As for cartridges I would not rule out the .270 Winchester short magnum, or....the .280 Ackley in a long action. My two-cents worth! [/QUOTE]
