[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 844273, member: 12995"] It's ok, I'm a bit of a grammar junkie, myself. I have an 1874 Sharps reproduction .45-70 with a 29" octagon barrel on it. I got it a few years back in a trade with one of my buddies. I've never shot it. Not that I'm scared to, since I will sit and shoot my 7mm STW (no brake) at the range all day. It certainly doesn't bother me. I just don't really have the desire to shoot it, as it's such a nice piece I'd rather it just sit in the safe and be a keep-sake, since you don't see many of them running around. Also, I have always been a bolt-action fanatic...And I'd much rather shoot those. I have always wanted a 7.82 Warbird. Great caliber! Expensive to shoot and buy brass and powder for! LOL My buddy owed me some money, and there was a used, but in good shape Rem 700 7mm STW heavy barrel on ebay yesterday, and he picked it up for me for $75+ shipping. It's a 1:9 26" barrel, so it should stabilize my 180 VLD's even better than my factory 9.25 twist Sendero SF 7STW. So, I guess for now my spare magnum action will become another 7STW. Then in a month or so when I get my 5R .300 WM barrel, I will probably turn it into a switch-barrel rifle, as well, so I can shoot either 7 STW or .300 WM out of it. [/QUOTE]
