Wondering who makes the stock. Most likely specially designed to be cradled on 3 sides by a front rest. Some people make them (the rest support) out of scraps of Corian and spray with silicone so that it will slide freely with recoil then return to exactly the same place.
Hopefully the twist is at least 8. I would prefer 7. Kinda funny how as the bullets of several calibers got bigger and bigger,the twist rates from some manufacturers got faster and faster. They basically had to.
Some of the .308" bore shooters do not like a 1:10 bbl anymore. They want 8 or 9.
Ed Brown makes a 1:8,308Win bbl for a T/C Encore that I have been itching to buy. In 26 or 28 inches it should shoot with the 6.5's.
Got a buddy with a 300Win Mag and a 26" 1:8 twist bbl that shoots the 1000yd matches. This combo does extremely well. --- SAWMAN
It’s a McMillan stock. Yes it’s a full bull 1 3/8”. Action is a Trued 700 LA. I will prolly play with it like it is for a while to see how it does. Down the road it may end up being a 6mm whatever since it is setup for benchrest match style shooting anyways. Oh yeah and it has about a 2oz trigger
