If I did a rifle... I would look at these

These are just a few that I have in mind.... I think brownells and midway carry some custom actions too.
as for barrels... I stuck with the bull barrel keeping in mind that I'm putting a can on it. I could be wrong.. just making a poor assumption with my lack of experience, but I think having a fluted barrel is cool for looks and trying to keep the weight down... and I think there would be more flex with a suppressor on the end of a fluted barrel especially when the barrel starts warming up... again, I could be wrong...
As for the barrel and twist rate. I think I would've moved on to a 10 in 1 twist so I could shoot heavier rounds like 200gr or something, but I'm happy with shooting'em 175gr out a 23 inch Bartlien 11.25 in 1 barrel.
This is the worst addiction..... don't say I didn't warn you![]()
