Good one Kev - I enjoyed watching those. Thanks. Murph

Guys Thanks heaps. I appreciate your comments. Murph

Guys I'm in the planning stages of a new light weight rifle for LR mountain hunting. It will be a 7mm WSM and I want to use the 180 gr bergers at 2900 - 3000 fps as my standard load. I don't want a detachable mag - the rifle will either have a blind mag like an ADL, or it will have an...

OK thanks Chad. I hope the "sneak attack" won't be too painfull for you. :) I'll cancel that order on the action I mentioned in my email and we can go from there - the more I research the 7WSM the better it sounds!! Cheers and Happy New Year Murph

Chad I got your email and sent a reply - did it come thru ok? Cheers. Murph

Bloody Hell guys- you're killing me. Both those rifles are sooooo close to what I want to end up with. WesB - PM sent. ackleyfan - who put your 300 together? Cheers guys. M's L

OK thanks guys. It sounds like I either need to go down to a #3 contour barrel or change to a Classic or Sporter stock. Reading between the lines am I correct in thinking these can be ordered with the Edge fill? If so what will the 30 - 36 oz's drop to roughly? Also, on the barrel, my plan...

Guys Other than the Remington Hunters Edge Ultralight stock (21-23 oz) I don't seem to be able to find reference to any weights for the other stocks on McMillans web site. The stocks I'm interested in are the Remington Classic and the Remington Sporter. Just wondering if anybody here would...

Hi greener280 That thing is gorgeous. Congratulations. As you say - if I build mine with a slightly thinner barrel profile and have no bottom metal I should be down to my target weight hopefully. Who makes DE rings and bases? I googled that term but nothing came up. Thanks again. M's L

greener280 That rifle sounds really nice. Any chance of a few photos? What weight projectiles are you going to use in her? Cheers. M's L

BigSkyGP No problems my friend - I really appreciate your apology. I did actually get fairly knocked around on my fall/slide but luckily only surface wounds - grazes, bumps, bruises and a dented ego etc. My Blaser was unusable after that and so I used my friends rifle for the next 10...

300R Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Did you import the Surgeon actions yourself or can someone in OZ supply them? I must admit I do like the idea of the integral recoil lug and picatinny rail, not to mention the bolt being machined one piece. Who did you get to do the...

300R – thanks for the heads up re the .280 AI. I’d really prefer a custom build from the ground up however, using one of the 700 clones. Do you hunt with the surgeon action rifles or are they range guns? If you hunt with them how have you found they handle the dust etc that inevitably finds...

Hi All This is my first post although I have been lurking for a while. There is heaps of good info here for a LRH novice like me - thanks. I've been hunting and shooting all of my life but only just recently realised the need for a long range weapon after a Tahr hunting trip to New Zealand...
