I have been picking up parts as of late and gotten some good deals over at the hide. So far I have a Mike Rock M24/M40 5R 1-8 twist 6.5 barrel, Picked up a real nice used USO ST-10 MOA, got a used AICS already set up for a Surgeon 591, I am still waiting on the 591 from Brownells its back ordered but I did get in before the price hike.
I would like some input on a few things.. I have pretty much decided to go 260 remington but I am open to the 6.5 creedmoore and the 6.5x47 lupua do you guys have any input on caliber selection. I plan on using the 130-142g pills.
I also would like some input on a smith to put it all together I am leaning towards GAP but have heard good things about Jon Benland but he is just west of Altus and Steve is in OKC area. GAP is in KC and from Tulsa its not to bad on shipping.
I have read a few good articles over at demigod and just cant pull the trigger. I figure while I am waiting on the action I can ask you guys some questions

The gun will be used for paper punching and steel targets out to 600-700 when I get the chance and mainly around 3-400. I mainly use the USSA 300 yard range for pratice.
any input would help
