Specs look good, 6.5x47 is a great round, I would choose it over the other 2. But also take a look .243win, another great opton.

I have always wanted to do a build and then I learned about a new and impressive gun range being built, that goes out to a thousand. But I would also love to use this rifle for some hunting. Thanks, ADT.

Re: Build Part List

I think any of your cartridge choices are good. I'd go with a little longer barrel if you're mostly going to be at the range, probably Sendero contour. I think you've made some good choices and will end up with a nice rig. Have you decided on a smith yet?

If you want to shoot at 1K I would go for for a longer barrel. It's free performance. 24"-26".

If I was going to run a 26" bbl it would be an F Class rifle. There is not much of an advantage of FPS with that long of a bbl vs a 20". I see a 20" as perfect middle ground.
