[QUOTE="StevenD, post: 134481, member: 7013"] A lot of work may be required to make an '06 magazine, rails and feed ramp accommodate the 7mm STW, not to mention opening the bolt face and new extractor. Then if you seriously are looking at shooting 180 gn bullets, you may have to seat the bullets deep to fit in the magazine. In my opinion, you are better off getting an action already suited and manufactured for a 7mm STW. The price may not be that much different in the final analysis. As far as needing a brake goes, that depends on your ability to withstand recoil and scope eye relief. [/QUOTE]
