[QUOTE="wpd410, post: 740011, member: 3545"] Hello All! I don't often post on-line, however this thread caught my eye recently. I have read every post in this thread and have found it to be quite entertaining and enlightening. I had purchased a 7mm STW when they were brought out in the Remington 700 SS-DBM with muzzlebrake (24") way back when. I had already been shooting a very accurate 7mm Rem Mag. which had a very "fast" barrel. Long story short, the STW only managed approximately 40fps more velocity with 140 Nosler BT's. I couldn't see using all of that powder for a few more fps, so I sold it. I had more recently been thinking about building a 6.5x284 Norma on a Remington 30-06 action I have sitting around. My nephew wanted me to building a 7mm Ultra Mag.. Well, that made me start thinking about the STW again. Then I learned that Remngton had chambered some of their SPS rifles in the 7mm STW. This past weekend I picked up a Remington 700 SPS, 7mm STW. After cleaning it, I switched out the liability trigger for a Shilen I already had. I topped it with a 4.5-14 Leupold and bottomed it with a B&C Alaskan Ti stock. The dies won't arrive from Midway until Thursday (1/3/13). I am so looking forward to working with this rifle! [/QUOTE]
