APA bottom metal with a Curtis flush mag
Timney?

Guess of a finished weight?


If you're going with a DBM, consider the TL3 action instead of the SR3. The ejection port cut out on the SR3 looks odd, at least to my eye. The TL3 might be a bit heavier, which may matter to you. Of course if you already have the SR3 action, never mind.

BTW - The DBM is a good idea. I have a SR3 (short action, extended mag box, Sunny Hill BM, 6.5 SAUM) project under way right now. It shoots great, but feed/eject is a big problem. I'm about to throw in the towel and call it a failure.


By chance do you have a picture of the sr3 port that looses some points in the cosmetic aspect?

I do not have the action yet and will order one soon.


I don't post pics on internet forums, but a quick image search will turn up what you're looking for. Basically Zermatt opened up the ejection port WRT the TL3, but only in the middle and with a large radius cut out. The ejection ports on the SR2 and TL3 look much better, at least to my eye.
