New to STW what specs

[valleysnyper]

I picked up a new old stock remington 700 in 7mm Rum, I'm going to have built into a 7mm STW. I have no experience with this ctg, just always liked hot rods, cars bikes, bows rifles....and of course woman. Can anyone help me with specs for a longrange rig, I want to shoot heaviest VLDS I can, so I need twist, barrel length/contour and a stable stock platform. Thanks in advance, Gary

Go with a Bartlein 5R 7mm Sendero/Rem Varmint contour barrel with a 28" finished length, and a 1:8 twist. You can shoot the Berger 195 Hybrids.

What model 700 is it? If it's a Sendero, then you already have a great platform, and I recommend just having the action blueprinted, the barrel swapped (with the above spec'd barrel), and have it all DevCon bedded into the factory Sendero HS Precision stock. Another good option would be to have a 4.000" Wyatt's Outdoors extended mag box on it while the smith has it and while it's already disassembled.

If it is not a Sendero model, then I recommend the new Stocky's Long Range Composite stocks.

It is not a sendaro, it's a bdl I believe

 

[valleysnyper]

I thought there would have been alot more suggestions, maybe I'll just keep as a Rum untill I burn up the barrel

 

[adam32]

Keep the RUM then go 28 Nosler...the STW is too long for the 180/195 class VLD's, imo.

 

[valleysnyper]

LOL....already have a 28 nosler in a Christensen, love it !! Think ill just stay with the Rum like you said

 

[valleysnyper]

still could use suggestions for a good longrange stock, that I'm changing for sure

Anyone have experience with a Greybull precision stock ?

 

[MudRunner2005]

Pretty sure I gave you a few stock suggestions, but I guess you didn't like them.

If you want to spend more for the exact same thing, buy a Manners or McMillan.

 

[valleysnyper]

I did get and appreciate your advice, always looking for options. As far as manners...I need it in this lifetime

 

[valleysnyper]

Sorry, didn't see all the options you gave me, old eyes and a smart phone will do that. I'm checking the posts out on my computer now

Greybull is a good one, so is Grayboe.

I just bought a BC comp/tac stock with the adjustable comb, looks like a winner so far.

 

[valleysnyper]

that adjustable stock will be on a hunting rig ?

LR hunting rig...Lone Peak Fuzion action and a Benchmark/Frozen Fiber carbon barrel in 338 RUM.

For strictly a "hunting" rifle a McMillan Hunter is the best stock ever made imo. McMillan has them sometimes for around $400 also.
