I have a older Savage 110 7mm rem mag that needs a new barrel. This will be my first barrel swap.
I originally was thinking 6.5x284 but I would have to change the bolt face and possibly have mag length problems. Then I was thinking 264 win mag, basically same cartridge necked down, should be a straight forward swap.
I want to try my hand at some long range shooting ring some steel shoot some paper. Thats why I was thinking a 6.5 still flat shooting but less recoil. But I still might want to us it for elk hunting, so now I am thinking keeping it 7mm Rem mag or going 7mm STW.
I would appreciate any advise.
Will the STW fit in the Rem mag magazine?
Recoil comparisons, best recoil pad?
Best barrel manufacture?
Thanks in advance
