Hello,
I’m interested in building a rifle for NRL Open Heavy. I’ve scoured all the forums and have found some good starting points. Here’s the criteria I’m considering if anyone is willing to chime in with recommendations on specific brands/items from their experience/lessons learned or even builds that you’ve had success with, that’d be awesome. Rifle will be chambered in 6.5cm.
-Chassis with foldable stock
-CF vs. Spiral Fluted Barrel (24in proof weighs 3lbs, not sure what a 24in spiral fluted barrel runs)
-Recommended Action for a Proof or other pre-fit barrel?
-Considering Leupold Mk5 5-25 for weight and I can get one for a decent price. Other recommendations for similar price?
-Suppressor vs. Break (I have a KGM R30, not sure how I’d be sitting on weight for the build)
-send it level vs. bubble level (if bubble level which do you recommend?)
Anyone shoot open heavy with a Seekins HIT platform? I thought about getting the new HIT M3 and swapping to a CF barrel but seems like it could still be tight on weight. Any experience there? Also, looks like Proof isn’t currently selling pre-fits for Seekins?
Thanks all.
