Hi Anthony


From reading your post I think you have two very different needs, one light rifle for BR30 at around 10 lbs and another at 16-17 lbs for the Fly. A lot of the new actions (Anschutz, FWB and Blieker) coming out of Europe are heavy and easily exceed 14lbs when put into a stock and scoped.
The way the rimfire Fly is going at our club then you need a custom action, custom barrel, tuner, Nightforce or March scope with decent rings and it all adds up to alot of dollars and weight. You have to ask yourself do you want to give away 6lb to you competitors in the Fly which has a 17lb limit from memory.
Brett Wilson who brings in the Falcon actions does some stock work as does Kim Cossick (Bigstick Stocks) - just a couple more names for your list.
The winning score at our 200 yard Fly shoot last weekend at Silverdale was 278.9 by Eddie McGrann in moderate and variable winds - an outstanding result. We are all going to need soemthing pretty good to beat scores like that.


Regards

Dave
