[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1012809, member: 24284"] Sure, a steel insert/washer would help as would have a bit of grease and less take it apart/put it together. If you're in a wet climate, yes, it needs to be out of the stock to dry and oil. Otherwise? It seems to me that the inside of a Rem. 700 LA mag box is about 3.690". Not long enough for even the longest .300 Win Mag loads? Or, in your case, did you mean Weatherby Mag? Factory.300 Ultra Mags fit the std.LA box with about an 1/8" to spare. I'm having trouble understanding why the extended box. Can you fill me in? I buit a .280 AI on a Rem LA in ADL style using a McMillian UltraLite Edge. The pillar I made for the front screw is made of aluminum with a steel insert pressed in for the screw head to rest on. A combination escutchon/pillar, if you will, glassed in with MarineTex. 7 1/2lbs. without scope. [/QUOTE]
