This is going to be a multi duty/game size rifle GM. So I want the option to be able to load up a serious Moose bullet. Hence the 1:18 twist. Either making my own on the lathe or finding some super high BC bullets in .450+range with a 400gr weight range for downrange energy at 300 yards. The problem isn't finding bullets with high BC, it's the terminal performance of most of them really suck wind. Those with the best terminal performance, usually have seriously crappy BC and couldn't buck a slight breeze at range. Those with a good BC either blow up on a shoulder or just pencil through and never open. It's a rare thing that I ever have to fire on Moose past 200 yards in the places I hunt, but I'm getting old as dirt and I just can't get in on some places silently like I used to. So I am going to have to equalize my limitations with a bit longer range capability.

The 10 with the mostly blown out barrel is 4.40" screw spaced and yeah I knew the large shank part. I plan on some seriously beefy loads sometimes so I want a really good strong setup.

Any ideas on a stock for this? I could most likely drill a rod holder and figure out how to install a spring loaded "keeper" but I'd rather not have to fool with all that.
