    Carbon stock is $1450, barrel will be $1000 fitted minimum - even with a free action you're looking at $2450 Can't get parts for a Sako Vixen anymore, mounts are limited.... I wouldn't do it if...

    Indeed. 6.5CM with a 120gr would be more or less the same on tye receiving end

    If you test it and the bullet gets reliably into the vitals and works, I would say go for it. Evidence would suggest that it won't. External ballistics are a bit unreliable too. Evidence...
