Getting interested in precision long range shooting more and more.
I see majority of Top F Class guys are shooting the .284. I know nothing about this cartridge and assume it's a hand load only. What are the differences between the Shehane and the Wheeler?
Actions: Is this more of personal preference? Or is Panda better than others, Borden, Defiance.... you get where I'm going right?
Barrels: I gather guys find a vendor that meets their expectations and just stick with them.
Bottom metal: I'm assuming this just needs to match up with your action and stock, also keep trigger and mag held in place.
Stocks: Is a Mcmillian Kestros going to provide same results as a gorgeous piece of walnut/other fancy woods? Is there an advantage to one vs the other?
Thanks for reading/responding in advance, and excuse my ignorance. As a precision tool maker for the last 28 yrs, I am fascinated by what some folks are capable of doing with a rifle at 1000+ yards. I understand this isn't a cheap hobby, I'm more concerned with building something with only the best. I'm ok being the week link in my setup.
