[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2961701, member: 115658"] I buy cheap used rifles at various licensed dealers including pawn shops. I get to do a real close inspection Including running non-wildcat dummy rounds thru action. If the dealer chokes up on that, no deal. After that the rifle goes to a smith for re-barreling with instructions to face off receiver ring & lap bolt lugs. I can specify exactly what I want for certain bullets & cartridges. I like the popular .280 AI, abundant .270 Win brass may be FF to .280 AI. A 9 twist works out well with most bullets up to 160's. A smaller body diameter area means less bolt thrust & easier bolt opening. I do my own stock work using pre-inlet, shaped, laminated wood (dyed birch) stocks. I do epoxy bedding, final shaping, recoil pad, ancillary fixtures, & finishing. Despite its fame & popularity I am not a 7mm RM fan. Should popularity of the 7 PRC wane, brass availability and home ammo production would suffer. Same for the 6.5 PRC that I expect to get into operation soon. [/QUOTE]
