[QUOTE="hillbillybear, post: 160456, member: 4775"] Thanks for the input folks. The rifle I'm thinking about will probably be based on a Savage action (relatively cheap and the switch barrel potential really appeals to me) with a 5 or 6 contour barrel and a laminated stock for a finished weight of no more than 12-12.5 lbs field ready. I'm thinking a 6.5 x 55 AI might just be the ticket (I already have a .280 AI that I love). A local hack gunsmith built a 7STW built on the M-96 action. How he did it and didn't blow something up or kill someone should be considered something of a miracle (He claimed to have fired over 200 rounds thru it). It was without question the most awful, both cosmetically and mechanically, rifle I have ever laid eyes on. HBB [/QUOTE]
