[QUOTE="outofayr, post: 597942, member: 13568"] I've used the aluminum PAWS tg from Brownells as well as the steel one from Numrich. Both work just fine as is for anything based on the '06 case or that same length. I have them on a 338 WM on a VZ24 action, a 6.5-06AI on a VZ24, a 7X57 on a Kar98a, and am currently building a 280AI and a 308, both on VZ24 actions. I have 3 of the PAWS and 2 of the Numrich. Haven't had any issues with mag length vs. seating length, but none of my barrels have a really long throat. The longest is the 338, and no issues with it, even with 250 gr match HP bullets seated just off the lands. The only downside on the aluminum one is that you get an antelope "engraving" on the floorplate. I'd rather have it plain, but it's ok. It uses a Remington-style button release. The Numrich unit is steel, and noticeably heavier. It is finished matte blue with a plain hinged floorplate and an inside-the-bow release. IIRC, the Numrich unit was ~$69 and the Brownells unit was ~$89; either one WAY cheaper than NECG or Sunny Hill... Have fun with your build! Brian [/QUOTE]
