[QUOTE="Dan H, post: 873883, member: 73095"] Hi guys, I'm new here, been roaming around this forum for a few years now, and decided to join the group. I have a few questions regarding my 7mm rem mag. It's a Savage model 110, about 15 yrs. old, and I am in the process of customizing it for accuracy and long range hunting/shooting. The rifle is accurate with cold barrel shots, but tends to walk when heated up, so I decided to buy an aftermarket heavy barrel, Hogue full bed block stock, and a timney trigger. I'm having trouble deciding which brand barrel, and whether to go with stainless or blued. I'm looking seriously at Mcgowen barrels and Rock creek. What are your opinions? Mcgowen claims to be match grade, and Rock Creek seems to be very popular. They're both around the same price, @300, which is where I'd like to stay with price. Here's my thoughts so far, tell me what you think: 1. Vortex Viper pst 6x24x50 2. Hogue full bed block stock (versatile camo pattern) 3. Heavy 26" barrel with 1:9 twist (shooting 168 Berger vld's) 4. Timney trigger set at @ 3lbs. Also, leaning towards no muzzle break even though this rifle kicks like a mule, hoping the Hogue stock and heavy barrel will take care of most of the recoil. What say ye? thanks, Dan [/QUOTE]
