I just bought a Savage Model 10HS and was wondering what your experiences with this rifle are. Caliber 308 Win and I am thinking of buying a 260 Rem match barrel for it and shoot it as a 260rem. Thoughts please..Thanks Dave

As a fellow illness patient I am going through several of the same or similar symtoms. I just finished reworking my 300WSM Vangaurd and now this 7MM STW has put a rash on my rear left pocket that driving me nuts. One of my friends suggested a parscription that was having a 338 Lapua built but...

I belive it is originaly an 8MM mauser necked down to 7mm

The round was born by a writer for Shooting Times Magazine and was designed as a long range western rifle so it is the Shooting Times Westerner

I have a chance to purchase a Sako 7mm STW to use as a long range hunting rifle. Anythought from experience or ownership about this caliber or rifle would be helpful. Thanks

I was just looking through some threads and came upon your 257 wby problem. I noticed you glass bedded the rifle and free floated the barrel. There is a post in the front of the stock that provides upward pressure on the barrel and this is nessary for the rifle to shot well. If you still have...

I belive the answer is in these replies somewhere. Multi point bedding may just be a coined word that someone dreamed up to make it seem more complexed or special. I am 66 years old and as was so elliquently stated, crap is crap and any type of strong resin is going to work well. I am agoing...

Earlier I posted a thread about 300 WSM loads for long range shooting. I also mentioned that I was accurizing my Wheatherby Vangaurd to try to make it into a long range hunter. With your many views and valuable imput I belive I am the owner of a rifle that can make it happen. I tried to post...

I have 2 Remington VTR rifles. a 223 and 308 and would like to try to make them as accurate as I a can. I looked on line about glass bedding and saw several references to multi point bedding. Beyound the obvious, that being more than one bedding point, is there a particular place long the...

I am from Temple and the gun club here I belive can go to 500. I have been told that there is a range in Waco that can accomodate 1000. Good Luck

I own 7 Weatherby Vangaurds. I recently worked on my 300WSM by having a trigger job done the barrel ported and I glass bedded the front pressure post. This past weekend I shot it in with 66 grains of 4350 CCI mag primer and 180 Barnes Triple Shock bullet with the blue tip @ 3034 fps. I shot a...

I recently accurized my 300 WSM Vangaurd. I shot it in last weekend with a group using Barnes 180TS with the blue tips at an average velocity of 3034 fps and shot a one hole group at 100 yards. It measured 3/8"

I am putting together the 300WSM and giving it a go. I look at targets all the time and across the board the best out of the box production rifle's moa is the WSM rounds. The effeciency of the case is as good as it gets. The short little fat bugger puts them downrange and close together over...

Again, I am so pleased with the respose to my question and the imput that you all have made. I am having the barrel ported and the trigger honed on Tuesday. Our buyers are going to the show durring the first week of February and will be keeping an eye out for a quality stock to use. I have...

This evening after reading your replies I called Weatherby tech servic and asked them their advice and opinion. They concluded that I would lose 35 fps per inch when the barrel is cut and would sufficiently hurt the perfomance at the extreme distances. They suggested fluting and a composite...
