[QUOTE="shephem, post: 385185, member: 5448"] Thanks for the replies. I have decided to set the barrel back a 1/4 of a turn so that the factory markings are under the stock. I don't have a way to stamp the barrel yet but I will get a way or I will talk my friend into letting me use the cnc to engrave it. I will be doing the work myself and just built a 308 on a Remington 700 and do know how to use a headspace gauge. Midway had a go-gauge for the 6.5 STW on sale for $20 so it is on its way, I use the tape method for the no-go gauge (I know this might not be the best way but it worked very well). I needed a gauge anyways because as soon as this one is done I have a 300 win I need to finish also. I will check on the barrel length when I get home, I have a Remington 700 and the Vanguard in the 7mm rem mag so maybe one has a 26” barrel. I plan on using the other one to build the 300 win mag on and I think the Vanguard has a longer mag which makes me want to put the STW in it. I also have a HS stock for the Rem 700 which I would like on the 300. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
