It's getting real boring.... Maybe you could spruce things up by adding some that knowledge?

Sounds like an awesome package Rick and I think you’d really enjoy it if it was put together with your blueprint. Hard to go wrong with it.

Very nice rifle. I like my Tikka conversion, but if Kimbers were available LH I would do one tomorrow.

Did one better. Just found a Montana 7 WSM.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Where would be a good place to get the barrel and have it installed in one shop? I was thinking pacnor then I remembered they burned down.

Here's the other 300 PRC we built using a 26" Hells Canyon Barrel 1-9.5 twist. This one shot really well also.

Nice rifles. Before I read your post, I was thinking that Gary and Mitch likely had their hands on those.

I did one for TDN a while back, he might chime in. Yup! Sorry I’m late to the party. Shaen did an awesome job and turned down a Bart 2B (I believe) to close to factory dimensions for the first 8” and then finished a bit heavier. There are some pics on his website and a few here: Idaho Bull hunt link@23” it shoots the factory 143 Eldx at 3,000 FPS and tiny clusters It’s a tough combo to beat.

This rifle is currently at my house about to be shipped back to Tim. It’s spectacular in every way. Ridiculously accurate. Dave
