Thank you very much. Yeah I intend to put a sporter on the action, which is what got this all started about a year ago. I asked Boyd if they could inlet their "P17" stocks for a sporter or heavy sporter, then they asked a bunch of questions I couldn't answer. Also, the stock in that picture...

Thank you very much for the thoughts. Are you 100% sure? If so, then this should be my stock selection, correct?

Morning LRH Members, I'm looking for some help on this one. I am trying to order a stock and barrel for my Dad's Enfield make-over, but I am kind of stuck on go. The only company I am aware of that makes replacement stocks for Enfields is Boyd, so first I reached out to Boyd to confirm...

Thank you everyone. I just looked at my preferred barrel manufacturers website and he offers 1-7, 1-9, 1-10, and slower. Sounds like the consensus is 1-7", even if I shoot lighter bullets at varmints (90-100 grains)? Stack hands? Again thank you very much for all the input, CTL

elkaholic, Thank you for your thoughts. What are the consequences (if any) of "excessively stabilizing" bullets? Let me explain. I started this conversation because I thought "one day" I might want to take this rig pronghorn hunting and shoot 120+ grain bullets, so I might go with an 8 twist...

LRH, I'm looking to re-invigorate this thread. My dad has an Enfield 30-06 that is officially shot out. You can't even hit the sky with it if you were shooting out of an airplane. Anyway, my dad has hit the sentimental state of life and he wants me to redo the rifle, but he wants a smaller...

So full disclosure, I'm not a rifle shooting expert like others on this board. I shoot rifles a lot, I build about 2 a year for myself and buddies, but rifles are my 2nd love after bows. Another disclaimer is I have always been a big cartridge, "no such thing as too dead" guy. Finally, I'm...

That did it! That being relieving some pressure on the action wrench. Awesome advice, thank you so much everyone! Have a great November! CTL

LRH Members, Original: Savage Model 110 7mm Rem Mag.... Attempting to install Shilen Barrel chambered in 300 PRC It has been hell getting all of my components together, but I finally have my barrel, action and headspace gauges sitting on my workbench. This will be the 2nd barrel that I will...

I think you could use the MBE-3 or CFE-12 if you go Wyatt’s CTL

You could use an accurate mag bottom metal. Kinda expensive but I think it will give you what you want. I’m not absolutely certain but if you purchase the correct wyatt’s Box I think you will only have to moderately alter the bottom of the receiver and bolt stop. Do you want centerfeed of...

What action? CTL

LRH Members, Looking for some general numbers. I happened upon a Winchester Model 70 shadow chambered in 300 WSM at a pawn shop. The action seemed somewhat long to me so I went and grabbed a caliper off the shelf and made an attempt to measure the magazine length... I think it is a shade over...

Short Mag or long mag length? CTL

Did the 6.5 PRC cartridge fit in your blind mag before you changed it out? CTL
