Going to re-barrel my 700 CDL soon. I've always wanted a .280 Rem., so I was thinking somewhere around a #3 contour @ 23" would balance well with most any stock I choose from McMillan. Leaning towards the Sporter....which seems like it gets very little love around here. Had a EDGE Compact, and it was nice...but VERY trim. The Sporter looks a tad more substantial through the grip and forearm.
Lilja, Hart, Brux, Rock, Shillen......who runs larger/smaller than a standard #3?
Advice is appreciated.
I just checked two quick ones - Lilja and Pac-Nor.. Lilja has quite a difference between their #2 and #3.. While Pac-Nor's #2 fits between the two on Lilja's site..
Some of your decision might be based on the end-use of the rifle.. Will it be a walking-around rifle or a 'stand' rifle?? If the former, you might want to consider a little less weight.. If the latter, weight means little...
