building an unclassed rifle....stock question

[GSRswapandslow]

building an unclassed gun, just building it to outshoot my buddies. Will be single shot rem action chambered in 6br....the question revolves around the stock. Shooting will be 100-250yd, ONLY. Gun will be shot with a front rest and rear bag

would there be any advantage in using a laminate 1000yd stock over a dedicated short range stock? The long range stocks are so easy to get....the short range are damn near impossible to buy online.

I don't think there is ,much of advantage with way. But, if you ever decide to shoot 600 or 1000 the long range stock is an advantage. Now , I know this because I use a short range stock at 1000. I havve come to learn now it is a disadvantage. My advice is go with the long range stock unless you never instend to shoot short range benchrest which does have stock restictions.

Ive built a few rifles and they were pretty unclassy, they mostly stay behind the seat of my truck.

Have a look at the GRS stocks from Norway. There is a US importer. They have a few models that would be a good compromise I have a Bifrost on a 223 FTR rifle, that doubles as a varmint rifle. An offsider has a Beserk with a Howa for much the same job. Very clever ergonomic designs.

You might consider an F Open class stock. Their rules don't restrain stock design except for the 3 inch forend width.
