get a stockade stock - period. theres really no other acceptable(for me) option for the long actions

dont skimp on bases, rings or glass. i just scoped my first long action/preaccutrigger(flat rear) savage, and fitting a 1 piece base can be a problem. apparently its a known issue, the rear flat on the action were hand ground and not held to any real tolerances. my base had .010gap at the back, and i had to lap and bed the base. if uve got these already np

all the barrel makers seem to do a great job, and northlander here may have a barrel for u in stock ready to ship.

ive never messed w the 243, so ill leave the length, twist etc to those that have

yeah just want the best for less as im sure we all do

Ditto on the Stockade. They ain't the place to turn to if you are in a hurry, but the nice part is that by the time you get your stock you'll have recovered from the expense of buying it. Nice people, too. I decided within a few minutes of being on the phone with Kevin over there at Stockade that I'd be sending my money his way. The dude from Choate was a little condescending after I mispronounced the name. :-[

[bobcat30]

ive got a 300wsm in a laminate stock, and it shoots as well as my synthetics...but...lots of fitting, makin pillars, and bedding involved. looks good, but i find it to be an uncomfotable nightmare to shoot. cant get a decent cheekweld. its the green one. id much rather be shootin the HS precision
