I finally found some 300 rum ammo so I’ll get to shoot it after the new year. I’m pretty sure it will kick a lot with the sporter weight barrel more than anything else I expect a heavy barrel contour would tame the rifle down and make it more fun.

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I need to get looking for the right barrel now.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks for all the input so far! Keep it coming please!

to those asking about why I am interested in a 300 prc it is mostly because I think it’s like a bigger longer ranging 6.5 Creedmoor. There seems to be a lot of economy in being able to order a standard spec 300 PRC instead of some special fast twist, custom spec reamer other 30. I think it’s...

The barreled action is a late 90’s jlock btw.

Good point on watching the width of the flat. I agree! I didn’t mention before that it looks like it was originally fit to a heavier barrel contour and glass bedded full length to the sporter contour so it looks like it has lots of flat area to work with.

Hello all! I found a rifle with a cool stock I would like to build from. See photo. It’s walnut thumbhole with a high cheeck rest and even some decent flame type figuring. Nice long length of pull. I love walnut so it fits with my preferences. Currently it is a factory 300 RUM in a mag...

I recall that he mentioned it was a 8x68s case. Your friend from L-town.

well, I'm in the process of doing the same thing with a 7mm RM in a Rem 700. I just recently bought a Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14x40 Mil-Dot for it. I like it so far, and in preliminary testing the adjustments are good and repeatable. I chose it over the Bushnell 3200 10x40 mil-dot, mainly just...

I've been lurking and learning here for a while now, and as I'm finaly getting around to verifying my longer range (beyond 400 yards) drops and windages. I just got my first mil dot scope and thought of a way to include a mil ranging function allong with my rifles drops all on a single sheet...

While its not the fastest, 100 grain Ballistic Tips seated about 0.010 off the lands with 45 grains of Varget in Rem Brass with CCI Primers is 1/2 MOA accurate out of my 700 Classic. Roughly 3150 FPS.

Ian, Since you mentioned the Buckmaster line, how would the 4.5-14x Buckmaster fall short of the 10x 3200 and the Super Sniper you mentioned? Is repeatability similar?
