[QUOTE="floyd kittrell, post: 2260408, member: 42792"] I have had a Warbird since they first came out , over 25 years , mine is a custom on a remington left hand long action . I believe it was built on the ADL , with the spring cartridge feed in lieu of the removable magazine , (ADL blueprinted action ?) It was the very best , most accurate rifle I have ever owned . It was Stainless steel , McMillan hunter classic stock , Heart 5 1/2 Cryo treated 26" fluted 1-12 twist plus muzzle break . Donor was a 270 Remington , it had redundant Sako ,I think , claw extractors machined into the bolt and an Arnold Jewell trigger set at 1 pound . I still have it and just took it to Servos Gun Smith last week for a new barrel and a cheek riser install . I will not print the load but it was over 4200 at the muzzle running 130 grain old Barnes style bullets with a nickel based plating and shot them in the same hole hot or cold barrel . The new barrel will be 1-10 twist and set to run the 179 Absolute Hammers at a much reduced speed . I have 2 sets of dies ( you can order from RCBS) but I am changing to the L.E.
