So my mind is all over the place at the moment. The Model 14 Centrefire Match project gun is the most sensible but my wife says I have none of that anyway (lol). Plus Model 14's are quite easy to come by compared with the other guns listed.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Why would you want to start with a Model 14?

You are planning on a custom barrel and sights, correct?

Are you going to use a Bomar or Aristocrat rib or something similar? If yes, then why not start with a Model 10?

If you are plan to use adjustable sights that fit the S&W screw holes, then you could use a 14 or a 15 if you are changing barrels anyway.
