Wonder what is the top caliber choice for stag 10 builds so far

[Mike112288]

I chose 308 win but if I was mainly shooting long range I’d have chosen 6.5

 

[Zen_Seeker]

I would guess .308 as ammo is cheaper and easy to get and been around longer.

 

[CanadianRouge]

I got mine in 6.5

 

[Sqr]

You cannot go wrong with a .308.

 

[Stonegoat]

I got mine in 308 as bulk ammunition is available. I am a big fan of the 6.5 Creedmoor, though, and have a Cooper chambered for the Creedmoor that’s an absolute tack driver.

 

[Mike112288]

Ya dat ol cree moor is making itself a name dontcha know. For hunting and banging around I’d take 308 over it tho

 

[dusticles]

308 here but a 6mm Creedmoor is in the works!

 

[pure.black.xiii]

.308Win/7.62x51mm for the win!!!

planning to go 308 as well. Has anyone tried to go with a wildcat or something bigger?

I have a couple 338 Federals that I will be building in a week or two. I might be going 22 Creedmoor too.

 

[Djb1]

i was thinking the same (going for 338).

I built mine in .308. It is pretty hard to beat .308 in a semi auto. I am planning on using the stag for general fun shooting and stretching out to 600 ish yards. I am now saving up for a Tikka T3x CTR or a savage 110 Tactical in 6.5 creedmoor for going 600-1200 yards. Have to say my stag is my new favourite firearm, I even deal with the extra weight and take it hunting.

I have McGowen barrels, but Maple Ridge is going to be coming out with them soon.

Why not shoot the Stag long range?

The only concern I have is weight. If maple ridge comes out with a BSF C.F. barrel like the ones they have for 308/6.5 then I'm sold. Gonna be using the stag primarily as a hunter.

Oh I know I could but I don’t want to add even more weight to a rifle I want to haul around with a long range scope (yes I know you can shoot to 1000 plus with a 10x but it’s a hobby so I would use something better). I would just rather have the stag for moderate range and fun where it would shine like a diamond and then let a dedicated target bolt gun do what they were built for and print as small groups as possible as far as possible.

The 10’s in .308 are successfully built for long range which makes it’s hard to find something better.

 

[yomomma]

308 but hoping to get a .243upper at some point.

 

[jiffx2781]

I'm going .243 but still waiting on my barrel to show up
