[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 36892, member: 10"] Varmint Hunter, It really depends on the full diameter barrel shank on your Hart barrel. Most custom barrels have a good long barrel shank of at least 1.200" and most are 1.250". You will have to shorten the barrel a long way to get the STW chamber cut out as the shoulder on the STW is quite a bit larger then the base of the 7mm-08. Just guessing but I would say that if your barrel shank is long enough, youcould cut around 2.000" to 2.250" off and rechamber and rethread to the Tikka. As long as the barrel shank if long enough I do not see a problem as long as you are OK with a 23.5" to 24" barrel on a 7mm-08 which is PLENTY of barrel for this round. Let us know how it turns out. Good Shooting!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
