[QUOTE="flopduster, post: 28917, member: 1615"] thanks for the opinions. brent, this rifle is used to hunt deer here in sc, mostly on roads and bean fields. I am not a bench shooter, but do like to shoot paper every couple of weeks or so. I really like the 270 cal and it performs very well on the size deer we have without being overkill. I like the performance of the hornady light mags I am shooting, but want to be able to get similar velocities out of reloads as the hornady's only shoot about 1 inch groups(somedays it will shoot 3/8 and i think i have an accurate rifle in a *** stock). This works fine for shooting does in the head out to around 150, but I would like to get 1/2 inch to have confidence in taking shots out to 600. Right now I limit my shots to 400 or less. If the accuracy inproves after restocking, I may not change the barrel. I wonder what kind of velocities I would get if I went to an improved version with handloads? regarding the 308 recomendation, I have a rem 788 in 308 that will probably be a future project when I get the time to shoot lots of paper and try to work my way to 1000yds. Right now it is a carbine that will shoot norma match ammo 1/2" at 100yds. I know the mcmillans are great stocks, but right now do not have the $ to put in one like I want(A3). I like the looks of the choate and think it will work well for me as I shoot leftie. [/QUOTE]
