Any update on this? I know this thread is old, but driving to work today I was thinking about building one of these. I googled 25 WSM and this thread came up.
Thanks
Good luck with Timney! I have an old MK85 with a Timney trigger that the safety stopped working, Timney would not even look at it... They told me to deal with Knight and Knight told me to deal with Timney, just a regular circle jerk...
I will no longer buy any product from either of them...
Just curious if there will be a significant change that I should wait for... I'm in no hurry I would just like to have the rifle done for next summer testing and hunting in the fall...
Your bolt will be fine as long as it’s a magnum bolt face... I pasted a link to an aftermarket bolt stop you can buy and install yourself... Also you’ll have to buy an aftermarket magazine in long action to load the 270WSM long... I’ll paste a link to that also...
The Tikkas are long actions but in WSM cartridge you’ll have to modify the bolt stop... But yes Tikka is a great option... I have a Tikka 270WSM being built right now based off the 168 Hammer Hunter...
