So, I broke down and ordered a chassis. I went with the MDT ESS XL and their buttstock....Brownell’s was trying to give it away!

so, then I’m thinking....this thing needs a proper barrel.

i want a cut rifled 4 groove, 1:9 twist, 300wsm, custom throat prefit....but that seems unavailable, am I missing something?

So, now I’m looking at a Shilen 4 groove ratchet from Northland or a McGowan or a PAC-Nor....I feel like Shilen and PAC-Nor are winning in my mind.

So, who am I leaving out?

Also, to shoot bugholes, should this action be tru’d? By who?

thanks
