[QUOTE="M9Powell, post: 1233751, member: 97934"] I don't have anything too run them on. I guess I need to get quickload & quickdesign, but they are right proud of that software. I have used the Nikon spot on app before but they don't have the 195 in their database yet. I'm accumulating parts slowly to build a 7 mm toy with. So far I have a Savage long action with integral Weaver bases, stripped from a 7 RM sporter. The factory blind mag box is only 3.450" but I'm going too toss that. Planning on a MDT HS3 chassis with Accuracy International type mags. The outside dimension of these mags is 3.710", not sure about interior dimensions, probably about 3.6XX" The Remington 700 is longer, but I like the Savage. Most people dislike the looks of the Savage. Cheap looking & that barrel nut. If I was building a classic looking walnut stocked hunting rifle I'd agree, but that's what my model 70 featherweight is for.:D. This is going to be an industrial looking tool. That barrel nut makes it a lot easier for gun nuts to change their own barrels & order barrels pre-chambered. I bought a scope last night @ Cabelas for this. I thought I got a screaming good deal, but now after getting it home & looking it over I'm not so sure. Through a combination of on sale, military discount, accumulated Cabelas bucks, it being a discontinued model, the last one they had, the display, I got a around 600$ Burris 30 mm MTAC 4-14X tactical scope for 250$. It's a mil-mil scope which I'm familiar with & trained on, but actually prefer MOA. Anyway after getting it home & reading the manual the retical is not pure mils. The horizontal crosshair is pretty much normal mil dots & hash marks as is the upper half of the vertical.
