Okay, I have finally made my decisions, either the growing popularity of the 6.5 creedmore I decided to go that route. I am seeing 6.5 ammo in stores more and more often and not too bad of a price, I suspect to see the price go down as well as companies are building factory rifles in the caliber.

I am going with the following.
I currently own a model 110 30-06
Top bolt release with blind mag
Using that as my donor action.
Ultimate sniper stock will be used for this build
Swfa fixed 10x or 12x will be starting optic

ADVICE needed
Keep in mind this rifle will be used for long range precision shooting, range gun.

Barrel manufacture?
Barrel length?
Contour?

What scope base to buy?
What rings would you use?

What extra parts would you do?
Recoil lug? And include manufacturer names
Bolt handle?

Will I need to modify bolt stroke or mag size for this caliber?

Please list anything else I am not including, will start ordering parts this week. This will be my first bolt gun build.

Also has anyone had any luck with painting or modifying the ultimate sniper stock? I am not a huge fan of the looks of the stock. But I'm after performance, but help with ascetics would be nice as well.

Pics are more than welcome of people who have built a similar build.

Thanks For your Guys consistent help!!'
