Hey guys I have 2 actions both 700 ADL one LA on SA. 30-06 on the LA, and 308 on the SA.
What would you guys do custom wise, specifically caliber. One is going to my dad one is going to me.
We have
7rm
264 win
257 Bee
243 win
308
30-06
375 HH
450 marlin
45/70
300 wsm

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

The L/A is a 0.473 or 0.532" bolt face?
If the mag BF, then .257 or 264. The Bee if you don't reload and the Win Mag if you do.

The short action to be Whitetail and the long action will be Whitetail on up.
Should have stated that we have multiple 223 and a few 22 250
we reload everything so that's not a problem

'99 favors controlled-feed actions since they're easier for him to use.
