[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1620044, member: 12995"] Simple... I had a spare 700 long action, and a spare .30 caliber barrel. I already have everything from .300 Blackout up to .300 Ackley, so I figured I'd shoot the gap... I didn't have the funds for a .300 Sherman, with custom dies, etc... So I built a .30-06 AI. As for the .300WM, I had a defective rifle, traded it in to where I bought it from, and for my troubles, they sold me a brand new 700 5R Mil-Spec 26" .300WM for $100 bill. So, that's how I ended up with both rifles. I was planning on building something on the .300WM action, however, so far it's just sat in the safe. Like I said, I already owned a custom .300 Ackley, so the .300WM was basically pointless to own, however, I got an $1,100 rifle for $100, so I wasn't complaining. I'll probably snatch the barrel off the .30-06 AI and turn it into a .280 Sherman sometime this year. And set-back 1 turn, and then ream-out the .300WM's chamber to .30 Nosler. BTW, I enjoy my rotary-dial phone, Henry Ford now has some sort of fancy horseless carriage, and this new thing called "jazz" is really taking off... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
