[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2502276, member: 27307"] This was one of those projects I just plain stumbled into. I was offered a .30 cal., 20" finish barrel with a 1:8" twist. Ostensibly this was projected to be a .300 BLK for fun but I started looking at other bullets and cartridge combinations and found the WSM really intriguing, especially with a couple of the heavier, longer range hunting bullets. The best aspect was that I had an extra suppressor which would make for a handy walking/stalking rifle. XM action (3.200" box) 300 WSM 195 gr. Badlands Precision 20" Bartlein Lt Varmint 1:8" twist Re-16 2,800 fps (zero at 100 yards since most shots would be shorter) Painless to carry, fun to shoot! :) [/QUOTE]
