[QUOTE="Gregg C, post: 2731673, member: 103471"] Opinions. Aren't they wondetful? I built(had built) a 338-378 Weatherby on a 110 action. It was ok....till it wasn't. Granted, it was my. Stupidity, for lack of a better word, that led to its demise., but I was of the OPINION that the build would be fine. I got really really, no, REALLY lucky it never blew up in my face. Several smiths I talked to said No Way. But I found a guy who would do it, so away we went! Except, it NEVER performed the way I thought it should. I took to calling it the 338 Tinkeree, cause I was always tinkering with the danged thing. Right away, I had(what I recognize now as) extraction issues. Prolly lug set back related. But I persivered. And Tinkered. And ultimately, locked it up from a rookie mistake. Glad I did, in hind sight. The point is, some people have EXPERIENCE. Every one else, has OPINIONS. We should endeavor to listen to EXPERIENCE. I wish I had listened to that guy in Ohio.... I'd be further ahead. [/QUOTE]
