Here is the spec sheet I'll be sending. What am I missing?

<<<Gun #1 which is currently a .204 ruger varmint

This will be used as a walking varminter. Specifically coyote hunting and will be carried long distances. I plan to shoot 35-40 grain bullets.

- rebarrel contour similar to a shilen 5 1/2 medium varmint.
Chamber .204 ruger
twist 11
finish length 23 inches
threaded for 5/8 - 24 (2A)
fluted



Gun #2 which is currently a .25-06

This will be used as a all round hunting, target, and long range varmint rifle. This will also be carried in the field. I plan to shoot 120-140 grain bullets.

- rebarrel to tikka varmint contour or similar if not available (rem sendero?)
- Chamber 6.5 x 55 so I can seat 120-140 grain bullets to the lands
- twist 8
finish length 24 inches
threaded for 5/8 - 24 (2A)
fluted


The current barreled actions will be swapped in the current stocks. So the new .204 will go in the old .25-06 stock and the new 6.5 swede will go in the old .204 stock>>>
