[QUOTE="BillyBushCook, post: 1092252, member: 89543"] You got me looking at this & upon doing some more research I'm now leaning back towards the SAUM again. It appears the 7WSM may be a little hard on barrels but the SAUM is a little more forgiving. Mostly due the neck length. Also stripped my .308 down to measure up the pillars so I can make a few more for people who I have offered some & in the process had a good look at what was possible with regard to extending the mag back & modify the bolt stop. It looks feasible for me to extend the Howa back to about 3.120" (making my own mag box) Still a little tight for the 180 Bergers or 162gr Amax's in a 7WSM but it gives me plenty of room for the SAUM. :D Now looking at picking up a cheap 2nd hand Howa SA for a couple of hundred & tear into it with the mill. At least that way I can sell off the barrel, scope & stock to make the action almost a freebie. Mick. [/QUOTE]
