Hunting season is over so i need another precision rifle while my awesome 223 cools.  

I couldn't resist the price brownells had on the acc elite so have that on the way.

Questions

I think i already know the answer but would you remove the rail when removing the proof barrel so i can get more of the vice on the steel?    I have a sac vice already.  


My plan is a 6.5 creedmoor barrel from patriot valley
1/7 or 1/8? why?  26" or 28"  what muzzle brake
This is in hopes to make it to 1275 and hopefully be able to see impacts better.  

Extra barrel  from patriot valley will be 6 arc i've decided.  
I'm going to play see how far i can kill a pig with something stupid soft shooting so i can see my impacts maybe.
28" tube i want all the velocity i can get it's already going to be a heavy pig
Brake if different than the 6.5?  

Scope
Under 3k is their anything i should be looking at for long range shooting besides a gen 3 razor??

Brake wise, many recommend the 419 brakes, I like the bastard brakes from APA better, their gen 3 and gen 4 brakes offer adjustable vertical ports besides the horizontal ports to control muzzle rise...They use threaded plugs to adjust the vertical rise.....
