[QUOTE="liltank, post: 333469, member: 13275"] I use a heavy barrel .308 at 18" with a full 1" contour. This thing is great for walking through thick brush. It carries a little heavy but is well balanced in my opinion. I have recently read an article that was surmised by the author, that short barrels can be as accurate or more so than a long barrel rifle. So here is what I would suggest. A Hogue Overmolded stock, a 20 to 22" barrel with a finished contour of around .75 with heavy fluting in a 1:8 (So you can plunk the heavy pills at long range) 3 groove. Unless you want to shoot the 120, 130 stuff then a 9 or 10 twist. Mount all of this on a Savage target action. The stock will have to be custum drilled and bedded for the action, but it is worth it. Shoot a 338 Lapua on a choate super sniper stock that required custom drilling and bedding with the target action. In my mind it was worth every penny. 20MOA base and your scope of choice. I like it... wish I had the money to build one!:rolleyes: That's what I would do!:D Tank [/QUOTE]
