My rifle build spec

I appreciate the input from my earlier post asking opinions on caliber choice (6.5CM or .308). I have posted in the scope forum asking for any input on my two scope choices. The following is my build spec and I will ask Robert Gradous his opinion also, but please give me any input on the following. I want to make sure I'm not specing anything way off track:

- Robert Gradous Tactical Short Action on a Surgeon 591 with Surgeon DBM, 6.5CM, 26 inch barrel, threaded and capped for future TBAC suppressor.
- McMillan A3-5 with thumbwheel comb adjustment, dark camo
- OD cerakote action, barrel, and rings
- Seekins Rings (height depends on scope)
- Atlas Bipod
- Tactical Intervention M24 Sling
- AI magazines (2-10rd and 2-5rd)
- Eberlestock E2B drag bag
- I have a Pelican Case I will have fit for the rifle and gear.
- Either S&B PMII 5-25x56 or PH 5-25x56 scope, mil/rad turrets

Please let me know if something looks like a bad choice? Thanks for the help.

Re: My rifle build spec

Awesome builder,awesome action/DBM, and awesome scope! Only thing I would change is barrel lenght especially if your running a suppressor. That's just me because I hate, long awkward rifles.

I say 21" but if you want to keep it longer 23-24".

I have an A3-5 and love it.
