    The other option is try and find a cheap stainless 222 or 223 and rebarrel it with a Trueflie or other top quality fast twist barrel.

    Got mine through H&F before they went rogue, took about 6 months to get here from usa. They don't advertise them any more.

    Kimber Adirondack are the only factory stainless steel bolt action that I know of. Gun city had some semi custom Howa, CZ and Tikka T3 in stainless made up a year or two ago with cheap suppressors.

    I would say 2600 with 140eldm is probably at the top of your expectation. 2550fps sounds about right. Maybe try rl16. Would maybe be able to get to 2700. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
