I got the 20” factory one, put in a stockys VG, cut the mag down, my only complaint was how small the bolt handle was so I took a grinder and filed the bolt handle till I could thread it 5/16 -24 and put a longer bolt knob on, shooting 112 Barnes match burners at 2590 fps with H4895 quite well. Weighs 7.5 lbs but I have a Trijicon Creedo 3-9 coming so should drop down a few more ounces IMG_5094.jpegIMG_5096.jpeg

I’m really happy with my Stockys and Carbon6, scale says 7lbs 7oz. I've had 2 Howas in 6arc, one was in the Howa chassis, I didn't like it all that much, not very good ergos. This one kind of evolved a little over time. I'd get the barreled action, Stockys, and see how you like it. The Oryx is a great chassis, but that thing would be a pig, more than I’d want to carry around in the field.

The Ruger looks cool, will have a big advantage since it'll feed from AR mags, but they are on the heavy side and few to no lightweight stocks to chose from.
