[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1296691, member: 12193"] I would do a .300 Win Mag instead of the Norma. Much easier to find dies/brass, and if you ever decide to sell it you'd have an easier time. But if you want something different, go for the Norma mag. Performance will be very similar. #4 fluted would be perfect for this kind of rifle. 6.5-20x is a bit much for a hunting rifle in my opinion. Although 20x is nicer for shooting 200-yard groups on paper, it is pretty useless on game. Too hard to find the critters with such a narrow field of view. The 4.5-14x would be my choice. I like the VX-3i quite a bit. For shooting the heavy bullets I would go 1:9 twist. Good luck with the build and keep us posted on how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
