[QUOTE="sanjuanfly, post: 482396, member: 31433"] Mark, Thanks for your opinion. I'm starting to come around on some of these issues. I've decided to go with either a 340 Weatherby or 338 RUM out of a 24" #2 countour unfluted. Do you think this is too light? Or too short? Adding an inch or two would add a ounce or two at most. Second, caliber is a 7 mm Rem Mag. out of a 24" #2 countour, basically to keep the feel of the rifle the same. Stock will be a Lone Wolf Monte Carlo...about 2 pounds finished. [EMAIL="PT@G"]PT&G[/EMAIL] bottom metal (Aluminum...2.5 ounces)...PT&G will also do some bolt work (alum bolt shroud, flute the bolt (just for looks), alum or fluted firing pin). I'm curious about the set screw set up. Sounds like I will be able to keep my stock SPS barrel and only have to buy a new barrel in 340 WM? Could give me some better instructions? Or do you think this is common among good smiths? Thanks, Scott [/QUOTE]
