It will be a 26" varmint contour barrel with 1 in 7 twist. Bell & Carlson M40 varmint \ tactical stock, and it will probably get a timney trigger. I'm considering having it threaded for a break so it will be possible to watch the he bullet strike in the scope.

Barrel channel is correct (heavy varmint) and both action and stock are 4.40" bolt spacing. I would have bought a 700 to build off of but originally it was going to be a cheap calling rig and when the factory barrel turned out to be bent, decided to fix it up the way I wanted it.

When I call 19a I always take my 10s and glass while calling. I get alot of dogs hanging up at 4-500 yds.

Get'em before the fawns drop. Had a dog come to antelope fawn distress a couple weeks ago,and another to a challenge in 5B.

There are other states that have animals worth shooting at.

Next time I get a free weekend I'd love to take you up on that!

Picked up my 300 from Phoenix custom rifles this week. Built on a 700 action, 27"Bartlein varmint contour barrel, McMillan TAC hunter stock, and timney trigger. Working on a load for the 200gr Eld-x top is 90gr h-1000 @3180fps avg, bottom is 90gr Rl-25 @ 3270 fps avg. From the first two groups I think it's going to be a shooter

Sounds like the one I'm looking for. I appreciate the info!

I like it! Is the glass worth the money in your opinion? Also looking hard at the swarovski X5i.

Some of what I don't like about the scope may not be a problem for someone else. I don't like the ffp, on 25x the cross hairs are huge. It could use more eye relief especially on a 300rum with no brake. But the main issue is the glass has a hard time comparing to scopes that are half the price. My vx-6 is close and in some conditions maybe a little better.

I had planned on loading the 212 eld-x but haven't been able to find them yet. I couldn't be happier with the job PCR did. I just wish I would have taken a little more time finding a scope, the Nightforce isn't what I had hoped for.

I bought my swaros from flagstaff sportsman's. They let me take both pair outside on a tripod to compare.

I wouldn't say there is a huge difference. The biggest difference I saw was it was a little harder for me to get the ziess in focus. I liked the swaro's enough to spend the extra money, but can't say I would have been dissatisfied with the ziess.

Flagstaff sportsman's had some Nosler brass for 22-250 last weekend.

You can bet it will be a sloppy mess with the rain its getting today.

Nosler lists data for the 30 Nosler in the new #8 manuel. I would bet they announce it at shot show in a couple months.

Might try a different bullet weight. My 30-06 won't shoot 180s under about 1.5", 165s are inside a dime.

Thanks for the help guys! I kept the Bartlein, picked up a Timney 510, a Wyatt box, and PTG ss bottom metal. All got dropped off to Phoenix Custom Guns. Also ordered a McMillan tac hunter stock.

So I ordered a .308 29" 6r varmint contour Brux barrel for a 300 rum build. It shows up today and its a bartlein 5r barrel. Should I send it back or just use the barrel they sent.

That's exactly what he told me.

I always forgot my pillow too. Now I always leave one rolled up in my sleeping bag.

I hadn't either. Just what the guy from bugholes told me. I was originally going to order a 5r barrel from Rock Creek, but the smith recommended the Brux or a Krieger and not 5r.

I have a vx6 3-18x44 on my 270 wsm. I didn't get the custom turrets, I just use the moa. I haven't had any tracking issues or any problems with the scope at all. The glass is a little disappointing, side by side I can't tell the difference between the vx6 or my vx3. If it were me I would go vx3, or step up to the ziess hd5.

I wouldn't count on that barrel lasting very long. That's ok, they make brand new ones.
