6.5x47 Lapua Build - need suggestions - 11/30/21 02:05 PM
I have found a gunsmith, live oak accuracy, who is willing to re-barrel my tikka action into a 6.5x47 Lapua. He has Brux barrels as his preferred brand so I'm deciding to go with that since he seems supremely confident in this combination. Honestly, i was also hearing the voice of some on this forum regarding a tikka action + cut rifle barrel.
Most of the main parts have been chosen already, just unsure of the barrel details; tikka factory action, xray chassis and brux barrel
Based on the caliber, any suggestions on the following barrel details?
Contour - I own a 26" savage varmint and a 22" (i think) tikka varmint profile barrels. I saw one called "light palma" that seems interesting but only see the dimensions. I wanna shoot up to 150rds a day like i can my current 308 set up.
Length - I'm thinking 24"
flutes - are they worth it? weight on this style rifle doesn't bother me too much
muzzle threading - I'm actually leaning towards no and do only an 11 deg target crown
