[QUOTE="TongassHunter, post: 1508585, member: 107717"] 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 then need quite a bit of fitting because of the left handed action, a bedding job and paint. I'm going to order all the parts I plan to use and then send it to a gunsmith to complete the build. Right now I'm looking at Alaska Customs as they are a gunsmith that has finished many Wildcat composite stocks and are familiar with them. I still need to select a barrel make and contour. Any recommendations? I want quality but don't need the most expensive brand. I want to keep it light weight, 22 inches, and I am leaning towards a 1:12 twist. Oh and Hand Skills, are you saying the blind magazine ADL setup has more ammo capacity? What capacity might i expect for a 35 whelen? I was told by Stu that when you compare the weights of the ADL vs the BDL setups, depending on material used, they are within 1oz or less from each other? If the ADL can fit an extra round that might be worth going after? Again I appreciate all the help and feedback, Trevor [/QUOTE]
