    Next barrel will probably be 25" instead of 27" to balance a little better. It's about 29" with the brake.

    Yeah, I've got an Creedmoor built on an Axis in a Boyds Pro Varmint, 26" 1" bull, plus a brake. It's front heavy. I think going with more of a varmint contour would have helped a lot though, as my 338 Edge is a .900" muzzle on a 30" barrel plus a brake, and it's not really any more front heavy. Maybe less, even.

    I think 25" tapered to .875 would be perfect for the comp gun.

    I would agree with that. Maybe even .850 or .800. Just depends on how small you're willing to go. I really wish I had gotten my Creed tapered. It's unnecessarily heavy.

    So my current load is CCI #200 primer, Hornady brass, 40grs of H100V, under the 115gr Boron Nitride coated DTACS. Currently they're running just under 3150fps. It's a laser!

    Very nice build.
    Did you buy the action direct from Shilen? If so, what is the lead time?
