[QUOTE="gaps, post: 946658, member: 42344"] Hey guys, I know this thread is old but I thought I would give an update to what I decided to do. Hopefully this thread may help someone else who is just starting out like I was. I have posted a couple of links of some videos shooting this rifle as well of a description of the components. [media=youtube]oX4ko8ikTPw[/media] [url]https://www.youtube.com/user/19gaps/videos[/url] I decide to sell my 7mm and the PST that was on it. I kept the Razor HD that was on the 300winmag but sold that rifle too. Then I took that money and built this 300 RUM. This rifle was a budget build. It is built off of a Remington 300RUM SPS that I bought as a donor rifle. I kept the action and the bolt and then sold everything else.
