Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Just got a call from Shaw

I agree, I should have never fed the troll in the first place. Dumba$$ has issues.....

Shaw has been great for my past rebarrel jobs and all have been accurate. Most took about 2-3 months. I just got my Mauser back from Shaw, it too is a 7mm RM, went with an 8 twist for heavies and 26” barrel. I’m happy with it, though it’s out for cerakote right now as I want it to be weather resistant.

I think it’s great you did that for your son. He will always remember it.

I got it all together now. Had to sand the hell out of the barrel channel to get her floated, then added a couple coats of tru oil to waterproof it. Then bedded it with Acra Glas from tang to 1 inch of barrel.

We will let the bedding cure for a week, then shoot it next weekend with the aforementioned 150s over H4831 and CCI 250 primers.


The stock shows promise. It needs to go to a professional refinisher.



A review of the invoice shows total cost of $502. They paid return postage.



The obligatory fence post pic showing the Bushnell 3-9x40 Elite 4200. I intended to mount Burris 4.5-14x42 FF II. But it contacted the barrel in these Talley LW lows.

Hood looking gun Sir! Your son should be excited to receive that rifle!

Nice wood in that stock 😊

I figured I broke even. A pretty nice stock, with a crappy barrel. The barrel was a lot easier to fix, than to find another stock like this.
