Not a big fan of the 300 RUM, but wanted to hear from you what you might consider building on this frame. I was thinking a long throated .264 or .257 Weatherby or even a 6.5 Weatherby Magnum.



You can put a big barrel on it to mitigate recoil, and with the increased stiffness, you won't have any probs making the bullets go where you want. I found this one sitting in a rack at Kwethluk Corporation Store. Had sat there so long the felt lining touching the barrel had polished the bead-blasted finish to a fine shine = long time. Obviously no longer stock.

The advice given is perfectly spot on. Greg Tannel told me to send him three dummy shells with my bullets of choice seated where I wanted it. He chambered the rifle accordingly. I love this rig.

I think a .264 would be very cool.

You can piddle with the puppies, or run with the wolves...

Better living through chemistry!
