Much like I did with centerfires a decade ago, I am slowly working my way to the perfect build for the hunting I do. I will be keeping a break action conversation [I've got 2 Hankins CVAs currently] for hiking/stalking and tree stands where the lighter weight and shorter OAL is helpful. But, I am now looking at a mid-weight build.
I currently have a Hankins custom w. #17 @28" and Manners thumbhole stock that will need a new home in this process. To no surprise it stacks tiny groups of 303gr HCs as fast as I want to shoot them and has comparatively very little recoil. It is amazing for sitting in a blind but not svelte enough to stalk with or maneuver quickly when ground hunting and rattling for bucks etc.
I am looking to build something w/ a Brux #6 around 25-26" and a lighter stock [28-30oz]. Rem700 or Mesa Prep. Summit action. Probably scoped w/ a Vortex HD LHT 3-15x42 or NF NXS.
I would love to see any pics or gather any wisdom from guys on here who have a similar setup!!
Thanks!
