[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1073789, member: 55230"] Just curious what brought you to the 30-06? bc your mentioned bullet selection seems a 280 would be better suiting better sd and bc. And since you already have a 284, if you have bushing dies, no new bushings needed and could cross play w/ bullets. But back to your build, I would personally opt for 24" barrel on an adl ultra light stock. You shouldn't have any mag length issues w/ the 30-06 and the bullets you want to shoot. You won't lose much velocity, will gain some stiffness, and will still have 1000yd on paper capable gun.. whether you like it or not hahaha. W/ my generic guestimates of 2850fps w/ 180 accubond you can knock deer down out to about 800yds @ 5000ft. Thats long range in my book. [/QUOTE]
