Re: Stevens 200 6br build.
you will get a lot more input on the 10/110 board that covers Stevens 200's too.
I would go faster twist myself - never saw it hurt lighter bullets (within reason) and it gives you the option to shoot heavier after your throat moves forward.
Re: Stevens 200 6br build.
I have a 6br I think you want an 8 twist thats what mine is. Also I have a no turn neck. Mine shoots the 87 grn Vmax under .20" groups all day long. ;)

What is your barrel length and at what distances do you shoot?
What barrel manufacturer?
Re: Stevens 200 6br build.
I would second the 8 twist recomendation. I have an 8 twist, not turn neck, LW varmint that can shoot 105 amax's into .4 at 200yds. The furthest I have shot it is 300 yds and it is consistently around 1" at 300. Could probably do better with a better shooter/wind reader. I have never tried the 87 vmax in it, but think it would be good. The amax are pretty explosive as it is.
For a true benchrest stock, I think you will have to go custom. Check SSS, Rayhill, and stockade. I don't have any of them, but hear their names alot in the higher end custom stock conversations...

If you don't mind, I would love to know your OAL and load for the 87gr. V-Max.
I just picked up some to try on P-Dogs. You can PM me if that would be ok.
Thanks
Re: Stevens 200 6br build.
My 6mm Norma BR no turn neck is a 28" Lothar Walther stainless barrel. I use mainly the 105/107 grain bullets and until recently, had no way to shoot farther than 100 yards. Now I have access to a 300 yard range and will get back to medium range load development.
