[QUOTE="SFR292, post: 747033, member: 62002"] Hey Guys, I'm currently building my first 7mm STW off my Winchester Mod 70 push feed action. Winchester Mod 70 Action (Originally a ranger model in 270 WIN) PTG One Piece Bottom Metal Wyatts Magazine and Follower Timney Trigger Precision Armament Bolt knob PTG Action bolts HS Precision Stock EGW 0 MOA rail PTG Reamer built to my specs Still debating on the barrel, it's going to be a finish length of 28", looking a krieger 1:9 standard palma however I have some questions for those of you who already shoot the STW. I was planning on shooting mainly the 139 gr AMAX and some 140's so I was planning on a 1:10 to maintain the high velocities the STW can deliver (3550ish fps) however I've come across some krieger's 1:9 5r, I know this will be good for 168's and even the 180's, however will it over stabilize a 140? And before it's asked (first thing people ask me when I tell them about my build), I've already opened the bolt face up to a magnum and machined the receiver for the longer magazine. I have 3.825" worth of COL in the magazine so I can use the heavies if I want to. Thanks again guys. I'm also building 4 other 7mm STW's at the shop right now for other customers as well. [/QUOTE]
