[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 498369, member: 5302"] Mid Tompkins fit the Kreiger barrels to both the actions; Win. 70 for the .30-.338 and a 4-lug Paramount for the .308. .308's got a 1:13 twist and a 1:12 for the .30-.338. Standard SAAMI spec reamers were used and bolt faces were squared with the receiver tenon threads after facing the receiver fronts square with their tenon threads. I epoxy bedded both using conventional methods with Devcon Plastic Steel; don't believe pillar bedding's worth the trouble. Solid wood stock with cross bolts behind the recoil lug and between the magazine and trigger cutouts on the .30-.338, McMillan synthetic prone one on the .308. All stock screws torqued to 60 inch-pounds. Both shot slung up in prone with the forend tip and stock toe on a shot bag full of rice. Weaver T20 scope used on both. Could easily hold about an inch on the target. Full length sized cases used with the .308 with Sierra prototype 155-gr. Palma bullets. Sierra 190's from the .30-.338. New, virgin .30-.338 cases used with the Sierra 200's. Mildest large rifle primer made was used; RWS5341. Three cheers (or fifty in this session) for properly full length sized cases and even the brand new ones in the magnum. Won my share of long range matches with these rifles. [/QUOTE]
