The 30-06 would work fine, as would a dozen other rounds. What you gain in the 260 is a ballistic edge due to the fact that it will shoot the excellent variety of 6.5, sorry-.264- bullets. Match grade ammo is available if you don't reload, and if you do components are easy to come by, Lapua makes brass etc etc etc.

That was Satsuma and yes the Gators was my "team". Football was lacking but baseball was quite good. Won the State 6A championship one I was there. I was rifle team though.

Several of my friends went to MGM and Theodore.

Saraland has it own school system now and it is so much better than the county system.

Where are you now?

That's right, I forgot. I had heard that about Saraland. That's crazy!!!

I moved away after high school to play ball at UWA and ended up in Sylacauga.

I'm kind of ashamed to say, but I graduated from McGill Toolen in 2006.

Why ashamed?

I have never been to Sylacauga. Any good ranges around there doing competitions? If so, might be a good place to ring out your bench project.

Naw, there ain't crap up here. There is one range that is 100yd in the Talladega National Forrest and a skeet club in Childersburg, but that's about it. There isn't any clubs with big ranges close that I've been able to find. There is one in Georgia, but I ain't riding 4 hours to shoot 700yds. I have a buddy with a good bit of land that we can hit a 660 shot.

The CMP is building a nice range in Talladega County near Oxford.

The CMP? Is that the one in Talladega? Because if it is, they have been "building it" for 3 years now. It is supposed to be a 1200yd range.

Yep.

That's what I was afraid of. Yeah, it is a ton of land with four wheeler trails all through it. And they have been talking about a range for quite a while now, but when you go out there, there is no work going on.

Ok, new question. I have an Edge. I want a different stock. I read online and look at all the different tactical stocks and when I read it looks like half will fit and half won't. I'm so confused. Do they make a tactical stock for the Edge?

Not yet.

You can buy a boyds or other laminate stock and modify the inletting for the axis.

Thank you for answering the question and not complaining because I have changed the subject again.

Hey it's your thread do what ya want with it!

The axis are good platforms to build off of. If the stock availability was better I would have gone that route over the model tens.

That comment wasn't directed at you, but thank you very much. And I agree, the stock SUCKS!!! And you can't get crap for them either.

Oh I know the feeling I keep telling myself my accustock is fine, I may buy a boyds tacticool and inlet it for my DBM but I can't seem to cut loose of my money! If I could get the vertical on the accustock I would probably keep them.
