Great cartridge choice! I've been wanting to build one for quite awhile. McGowen barrels seem to have a good reputation on this site. My first prefit was from them and it performs well. I was planning on a brake during my planning stage . My primary reason was to allows to spot my own shots.

I build a long range hunter type rifle and used a medalist sporter and I have been very happy with it so far. If you plan for this to be a bench gun, I would look at a stock designed more for that purpose. For a field gun though, I found there weren't a ton of options for the long action savage
