Welcome to the forum! The list looks good to me, I do like the preferred barrels, I have a couple of them. And the Vortex and trigger techs.
Honestly 26" sounds a tad long for me, that's not to knock it, just my own preference. Being a smaller cartridge, you need to watch out that you might run out of gas from lengths --
I've got a recipe for the 107 with Lever in my 22" preferred/Uintah bolt action, and in 22" 100% of the powder is burned up, in fact my grt plot says burnout happens at 16.1". Lever is one of the slower powders and is great in the 6 Arc. So as long as you continue to get MV from gas expansion (which you probably do) you should be ok... Varget is faster burn than lever however. The barrel's already cut so again, not trying to knock it. We'll be interested in your results. I'm sure it will be a shooter.
I'm hoping to load up some 95 Smk's in Varget for this little puppy this week.
