[QUOTE="Crab, post: 500821, member: 33402"] Just aquired a Winchester 7mm STW which I dropped off at my gunsmiths today and is waiting for my go ahead on the 300UM conversion. This is my first MAG build so any advice would be appriciated. Looking to build a reliable shooter capeable of 1000yrds or more. I'd consider myself capealbe of making the shot and not affraid to spend a little money to better a stock set up, so here's my plan: Medium heavy #5 Lilja SS fluted barrel, undecided final length (26.5?) Holland straight brake turned to same diameter of barrel if possible Work the stock Winchester trigger to around 2.5lbs or go custom (Jewell?) Keep wood stock (strip/refinish) full glass bed I want this to be my favorite hunting rifle and will be packed with minimal bench shooting. Not overly concerned about weight savings but worth considering as it will be packed. Trying to keep this build under controll which is very difficult for me, so please don't tempt me with bling that is unnecessary. Thanks............CRAB [/QUOTE]
