[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1264862, member: 13632"] The Norma is excellent as well but it will suffer from extraction issues if you compromise the meat around the chambering since it's the same bolt thrust. You need to trim more weight because you forgot bedding which is surprisingly heavy, you can loose a little on the recoil pad, there is a UL pad but I can't remember the web site. McMillian will not make an edge fill stock for a magnum chambering let alone a Lapua because in the Edge fill they totally use low density fill which won't hack the recoil so you'll have to sweet talk them into putting the high density fill in the front receiver and recoil lug area which will bring up weight but will keep it from cracking. One issue I've ran into with trying to make an UL with a carbon barrel is they are huge so you have to use a thicker design to get the barrel in there without thinning out the forend so far you will have issues, I've had more luck with a small steel barrel getting the over all weight down because you can really shorten and trim down the stock. I know there is one guy on here with your exact rig but he's running a much lighter optic and I believe the stock is lighter, search sp6x6, he has a lot of good info. [/QUOTE]
