Yea I’m planning on sending him all the parts I’ve accumulated for the build to work his magic. Trevor

That thing looks great! Good choice on colors, I love the camo patterned stocks by both manners and McMillan.

I’m new as of last week. This forum is great and the members have been super helpful with a 35 whelen light weight rifle build I’m doing. Love this forum!

Yea their phone is disconnected i tried calling them today. Trevor

Sounds good ill give him a call. Pac nor says 2 weeks before I see that barrel. This gives me time to figure out the action work and barrel install.

Man I didn't realize it is only .050 difference. That's nothing! I ordered the Manners EH-6 in lefty with the elite clear web finish. They will inlet the stock to perfectly match the pac nor #1 contour specs. I thought that was pretty cool. From my estimates the rifle will weigh right at 7lbs...

Man, I just got an email from wildcat composites, the only barrel contour they offer is oversize magnum which I think will be a good amount larger than this pac nor #1 profile. I have not sent the money in for the stock. I'm now thinking that I should look elsewhere? Maybe MPI? I'd like it to...

Cool, its a done deal!!! I just ordered a stainless 22in super match #1 contour from Pac Nor with a hunters crown 1:12 twist 5 groove rifling. I went with the pre fit! The 5 groove rifling was the only option in the 1:12 twist. Their barrel calculator says it comes in at 2.69lbs. Does anyone...

Looks like proof does not offer 35 cal. PAC Nor?

Right now I’m looking to pull the trigger on a barrel purchase. Any thoughts on Proof stainless barrels or PAC Nor? Trev

Edd , I have heard nothing but great stuff about Krieger but I’m wanting to go all stainless. I really appreciate all the help with this stuff! Trevor

Bounty hunter, I appreciate the information. I thought blueprinting was needed for the gun to shoot well but if it in not needed to get 1moa then I will save the money. Your 35 whelen rem cdl is an interesting idea but I’m not sure that rifle was ever made in a left hand action? I’ve looked...

Sorry I overlooked this advise before my last post. Looks like a number 3 contour is heavy at 44 ounces. I'd also like to go stainless if I can. Will the #2 and or #1 contours not shoot well? Any other brand options that you might recommend I check out? Thanks, Trevor

Thanks everyone for helping me in the parts selection/configuration process. I'm finalizing an order with Wildcat composites for one of their ultralight designed hunting stocks. Stu was very helpful and says he is roughly 1 month out wait time from when the order is placed. The stock will...

Thank you everyone, so I called wildcat composites about ordering up a stock in left handed. I’m waiting for a call back. As for barrels I’m leaning towards a 1:12 twist now in 22 inches. Hand skills, you mentioned the blind magazine. Are you referring to the ADL designation? How is feeding...
