Not many of them get built, because they don't do much more than the 20s. In your case though, that extra FPS would absolutely be worth the investment I think. It'd be up to you.
I can tell you, a heavy long barrel changes the game. It's like shooting a missile rather than a rifle. Harder to explain than that. The recoil impulse becomes more linear, more of a ting than a bang... hard to explain.
A good - fantastic - brake would be well worth the investment. A Fat bastard or similar maybe... Hellfire? IDK...
You'd want the rest SOLID... it's expensive to build this right. Huge billet receiver, maybe a DPMS slick side would be of good use though too... Definitely a good bi-pod, ATLAS or better.
Jewel trigger. Light break no take up. Light as in oz, not lbs...
Finally, LAPUA brass. You'll thank yourself when you start pushing your loads. Which you should do with an absolute abundance of caution, this isn't a SOCOM...
IDK man, I'm intrigued. You're already proving the push, and putting good work out. Now, you just need to build the amazing stick and push. Unfortunately, this is where the effort to do so becomes exponentially more consuming... time and money. Way more investment for sure.
Good luck! You're obviously enjoying yourself, and are proving it to work. I say go for it all.
You just described what it feels like to shoot my CZ varmint grendel.
I'm useing the hypertap brake on that rifle. Super effective and everyone next to me hates it lol.
I wish I had the altitude Mel has, would love to see what my 129 ablr handload would do at 2k.
Mel you need a spotter? Lol.
