Well I have an L61R standard face Sako action, a McMillan Hunter stock with an larger than #3 but not quite #4 barrel channel, and I don't know what to build both in caliber & barrel make? I was going to rebuild my 25/06 AI Ron Smith barrel you may have seen in this post:

Now I am thinking of going with something else, mainly because I will need a lot of fill in the barrel channel to get it to look right. Here is a standard Magnum contour barrel in the stock.
Being I will have to cut the shank off that Ron Smith barrel already, there will be a big gap where the shank tapers on that barrel.
Don't know what make of barrel, I like my Gaillard but am thinking of maybe trying something new. I am thinking fluted also to cut a bit of weight.
As for caliber, I am not sure about going 25/06 AI either? I have the dies and about 200 rounds of Fire Formed brass, I just don't kow if it's the ticket.
Don't want a 30/06, I know that already, not so sure about a 280 as I have a 7mm already. Like the 6.5, but a 6.5/06? Not so sure.
Please help!
