I’m running XLR chassis on the barrel nut barrels so can’t comment on that. I would go shouldered prefit on a traditional stock for function and looks but I’m sure you could make a barrel nut work just fine with some sandpaper wrapped around a socket.

Got the new PBB installed last night and it headspaced perfectly so I am 2/2 on PBB barrels headspacing. Hopefully I am 2/2 on them shooting! To clarify my statement above the PVA and X-Caliber I have are both barrel nut barrels.
Round count around 1200. Still shooting great, was banging steel from 600-1050 this past weekend. Pics tell the story. MBM brake that was tapered to barrel contour. This would make a great hunting barrel but I put a gamer barrel on the action.

I have a 26” 6.5CM .900 .199FB PBB showing up today and it will be my second barrel from PBB (first is a 20” 6CM .750). I have had a McGowan (20” 300WSM) and an X-Caliber (18” 6.5CM) and still have a PVA (20” .223). Fortunately I was lucky with all of the manufactures and got what I considered...
Kinda depends on what you’re pulling it with but I would look into a deck over (with monster ramps if in your budget), tilt or equipment w/ 7k axles and 14 ply tires. If your loading pallets/ materials often the deck over will be best suited. If your moving the buggy around the most the tilt...
No coyote kills at any significant distance but I shot a whitetail buck at 440 and a mule deer buck at 520. Both ended up in my freezer. I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot a coyote at distance even though the bullet might not be best suited for that application.

Another LC vote, I sorted all my .223 brass and run LC for all the run and gun matches. Been shooting Lapua out of my bolt guns but I recently loaded a bunch of lake city for a tikka bolt gun with great results.

@gabenzeke I'm all in with the 6CM as the do it all gun at distances past where I am comfortable on game. Everything I have shot (hogs, coyote, white tail, mule deer) has died just as dead as if they were shot with my 6.5CM/ 30-06 and its much more fun to shoot. 100-115GN bullets moving 3000+FPS...
Honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask since its the only 30 cal suppressor I have any experience with. I do like it a lot as a do it all can. Its lightweight, can bounce from my .223/6mm/6.5mm/30 cal guns and it does a good job at suppressing/ recoil reduction on all the above. YMMV
Stainless Tikka .223 chopped to 16” and threaded/ Wolfman can/ Stockys VG/ some bottom metal/ SWFA 3-9 on loan from a buddy.
