Thanks again guys,
While I wouldn't mind a new rifle, I've realized I already have about all I need for the job. I've got a 260 w/142's that stays super to 1400 & change. A 147 ELD or 150 SMK might even make it better or more competitive in the wind. They didn't make those when I built this rifle, I need to test some anyway.
My 260 has a NF benchrest scope on it that doesn't have enough travel to get to 1400 & nobody makes a rail more than 20 moa for the Stiller action. Then I remembered the Burris signatures. No new scope needed, no rail shimming, bedding all that stuff. A proven rifle nearly ready to go.
If I were to build/buy another, I had about decided on a 7 WSM. Plenty big/long legged enough for around here. The size of the farms & the way the land lays in my parts, there's just not enough room to present a shot further than a good 7 could handle. And, a person could burn out a barrel just testing all the great hi BC bullets there are in 7, a good place to be.
