Short Range BR stocks and big barrels!!

[AckleyImproved]

Guys

I am planning a new rifle build, mainly for something new, and to change to other components that better suit my shooting.

I will be selling two custom rifles due to change in direction with my sport.

Now the question. I like the feel of the short range BR stocks and I am wanting to use one of these for a 600yd/1000yd rifle.

How do these short range BR stocks like the Kelby Klub handle the larger barrels, like 1.25" for 4", straight taper to 0.940" at 28".

Obviously weight will be needed in the butt to balance.

The caliber will be either 6X47L or 6mmDasher, so heavy recoil will not be an issue.

So far the rifle will be looking like this.

BAT SB or B action
Kelby Klub stock, weight added by them
Kelby trigger
Kelby polished 20MOA double rings
Lilja barrel 1:8 @ 28"
March 10-60,already ordered)

So, anybody see any issue with the handling of such a rifle with the big barrel?

All the help is appreciated, as it saves my money and hassle getting answers.

Will also be going for a freebore of 0.125" if I choose the Dasher!

The "Klub" is a good stock, but you should seriously consider a Robertson/Borden or maybe one of Bill Shehane's stocks. My friends who have shot both the Klub & the Robertson are telling me that the Robertson seems to track a little better. Another thing I would be looking for in your application, is a long for-end to make balancing the rifle easier. Good luck with your project. Let us all know how it works out.

Thanks Mate

My current Dasher has a Shehane Tracker, but I like the feel of the short range BR stocks better. I do not know why, just they suit me better.

This is why I am wanting to change to a short range BR stock, but need to find which one is best suited for this application, a big barrel.

The Kelby Klub and BRFB look ok, maybe the TMBR? I do not want a butt on the stock like a knifes edge either, I like the Kelby has some shape.

Guys out there have to shoot long range rigs using big barrels and short range BR stock. Tell me your findings!

I suggest that you go to Benchrest board of Benchrest Central,www.benchrest.com) and post with a title that specifically calls out to Alinwa. He is shooting just the setup that you are asking about, not so much out of choice, but for economy, and I think that he will be glad to share his experience.
