F Class Custom Build - Need help

[Crayzcanuck]

For those of you who have had rifles built, are there many difficulties ordering and having components shipped from the US?

I think I recall seeing BAT actions available through a Canadian importer. Not sure about Broughton barrels etc....

The 260 Rem idea intrigues me.

Can't find a whole lot on how it has done in F class or Benchrest matches.

I'll have to do some more research.

BR it is NON existant. In long range 1000 yard BR, the guys opt for the big boomers as the weight limits are a lot higher.

When you can shoot a real heavy rifle why handicap yourself with a small caliber light bullet when you could shoot heavy pills.

F Class I cannot answer.

Most of the guys I shoot F-class with use a 6BR or some kind of variant...BRX,6XC,etc. There have been a few friends that have been using the 6.5 by XX in some of the shoots and have been doing quite well, no matter what caliber you shoot the max for rifle weight is 22 lbs with everything attached.

Cheers

Tack I should have been more clear when I was talking Long Range. I was talking 1000 yard Benchrest. They shoot Light gun and Heavy gun.

Light gun cannot weigh more than 17lbs and Heavy there is NO weight restriction. Muzzle brakes are allowed in either class. A lot of guys opt for the Big boomers because of the weight limits.
