Damn!, That's a sharp rifle!!!
<br>
<br>Nice A2 stocked rifle as well!
<br>
<br>The McMillan Swirl is by far,my favorite design scheme. I will have to make do with my Desert Camo A2 for the 257 Wby.(grin)
<br>
<br>Here's what I got coming; (keep in mind,this is a stand hunting only rifle)
<br>
<br>Ruger 77MKII,lapped/squared,all metal dull matte finish.
<br>
<br>30" long,1-10" twist,#6 contour Douglas S/S AG,recessed crown.SAAMI chambered.
<br>
<br>McMillan A2 stock,Desert Camo and Decelerator Pad.
<br>
<br>Burris posilign rings with .020" rear and .010" front.
<br>
<br>Leupold Tactical 4.5x14x40 with Mil-Dot and Turrets.
<br>
<br>Harris Bipod and Alaskan sling.
<br>
<br>Got SB to crunch some numbers on Quickload and it shows 3 different powders squirting the 100gr XBT/Moly Coated bullet out @ 3850fps while staying well under max pressures. Data also shows the 100gr BT's doing 3900+ fps.
<br>
<br>I'm thinking she'll do for Whitetails.(big grin)....

Sharp, very sharp!!
<br>
<br>I like the look of the teflon finish. Is it very durable?
<br>
<br>From a practical shooting point of view, how much accuracy difference would there be between a 1 contour and the 4 contour on this rifle?
<br>
<br>Cheaha,
<br>
<br>That sounds like the recipe for a pure lazer gun!

Good teflon,is suprisingly(to me at least)tough.
<br>
<br>I have #1 contours that will....well,you wouldn't believe it(grin). With a great barrel,properly assembled,I find accuracy comes VERY easily. Weight and length are my concerns,when choosing a contour,not accuracy...................

Rolling on the floor,puking my guts out at all these obscene pictures. <br> <br>Now ya'll don't start talking about barrel lengths and such-some folks have shorter barrels than others and bragging about the length of your barrel may cause others to feel "barrel envy". <br> <br> ![[Linked Image]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/laugh.gif)

Badger,
<br>
<br>It's a #6 contour so I don't think it will be too floppy. The muzzle will mike out @ the same as a #4.5 contour @ 26".
<br>
<br>Forgot to mention the Timney trigger. I do love those light triger pulls.

Wheelie, <br> <br>Yeah, I think Badger has a case of "Barrel Envy". <br> <br>BTW, How can you not like the McMillan Swirl finish??? <br> <br>Easily the best looking stock on the planet....

I hope your stand is bigger than mine. I have one of Charlie Sisk's rifle in .300 Wby with about 26.5" plus a brake. Have to put butt against back wall of stand to change windows I am looking through. Stand is 4' square. Rifle shoots very well but is a little un-handy in the stand.
