[QUOTE="William W., post: 2693856, member: 86944"] I am 78, and my idea of “leaning out” is to stay with 30-caliber. So, over time, that has led to from several 308‘s to several 300 Winchester Magnum’s, and that has led to a left-over Bell and Carlson stock from one that I self-upgraded to an Accuracy International stock. As part of the upgrade, I self-installed a Jewell trigger and was ****ed to find out that AI at the time did not accommodate them. Before acquiring my mini-mill, I had to jury-rig my drill press with a hardware store bit, that was not a mill-bit, which took me most of a day of careful aggravation that ended-up with a nice.-done professional-looking job. Sooo, after years of unsuccessful gun-show looking for a cheap 300 WM, to fill up the left-over B&C stock, one the 24th of December, a few years ago, when Walmart was still selling firearms, I found a 7mm Remington Magnum in a cheap plastic Remington ADL stock which I transferred to the remaining Remington Bell and Carlson stock that would take a Jewell trigger upgrade. Next year, after my 308 deer rifle took a fall after opening the car door, and not having time to range re-zero between hunting trips, the next week I took my new “shoot my eye out“ spare rifle, and called-in and shot a lovely 8-point with the bullet load that I had developed the previous Summer.
