[QUOTE="TMR, post: 144135, member: 5819"] Finally finished up my 7mm STW. It started life as a Sendero, but all I really kept was the action. Did barrel breakin today and ran some over the chronograph shot out to 1023 yds. Velocity ended up being more than I expected...Right now running the 168 gr bergers at 3340 fps. Thought maybe my chrony was off today, but shooting at all distances was spot on for that velocity. Accuracy runs in the 1/2" area for all loads I have run through it today. I am going to do some more work with it next weekend and will post some group pics. The reamer was made to be able to touch the lands, and keep it a repeater. Total package weighs in at 11.5 lbs. As a side note....the MPI stock was very light when I received it (28 oz). I was not inletted correctly and we had to add about 1/8" of glass and devcon to the floorplate area to make the trigger guard fit. After this was done and the barreled action was bedded, I still had flex in the grip area. I cut a hole in the grip and found that it was just filled with foam. I hollowed out the foam in the grip and about 1/3 of the buttstock and filled it with devcon also. Now it is very stiff. Changed the weigh to right at 2.75-2.8 lbs by the time all of the other material was added. It turned out ok, but it was alot of work to get it there. Anyway, here are the specs for now until I get some target pics up: Remington Long Action Broughton 5.75 contour 1-9 twist...28" long, fluted Remington Floorplate Rifle Basix trigger-2lbs TPS 20 MOA steel base MPI Tactical stock....modified TPS Low rings Scope level 7mm STW PTG Reamer....315 NK, .011 Freebore for the Berger 168's Wyatts extended mag Brownells ovenbake teflon coating Mark 4 6.5-20x50 w/TMR Reticle (thanks BJ) [img]http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m175/7mmam/info006.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
