Maybe I should go with the 300 wssm instead? What you think ? I'm open to suggestions for long rangeWeigh up the parts you have on hand..Let Chris know the finished weight you want, he can turn the barrel to the correct contour to get the weight you want..Way Back when, before the WSS 300 mag..The 300 Winchester was some fine rig for long range..I'm glad to see you have interest in that old school caliber..I think the 1-10 twist is good enough but let Chris tell you for certain..Good luck with your project..Ringing steel at 1000yds is some fun...Mike in Ct
Again, let Chris tell you, I'm old & my opinion might not be as relevant today..I was just saying 30 yrs ago my cousins 300WM was something at 1K yds ..He killed a deer flat out with it & 180 gr bullet...The kid could shoot...Mike in ctMaybe I should go with the 300 wssm instead?

Wow what a shot(the kid could shoot is right) Not the best of glass thirty years ago either. I will call Chris for sure for the barrel and infoAgain, let Chris tell you, I'm old & my opinion might not be as relevant today..I was just saying 30 yrs ago my cousins 300WM was something at 1K yds ..He killed a deer flat out with it & 180 gr bullet...The kid could shoot...Mike in ct
Amazing shot on a deer, sorry about your cousin MikeFrankie, my younger cousin was a Capt. in the army back then..He made the rifle team every year. They were on base/range in Alabama or very close to it..I was not happy to hear he attempted that shot from the hood of a truck..He knew the distance & his rifle very well...God took him too early from us last year..RIP..mike in ct
Thank You, any of you interested can see his obituary in the Fl. newspapers Nov. of 2016 ... 56 y/o Gen. Frank S Laudano us army reserves when he retired..mike in ctAmazing shot on a deer, sorry about your cousin Mike
Anschutz 1771 in .222 with GRS Hybrid stock, threaded heavy barrel, and two stage trigger done up by the ANA custom shop.I'm finally going to put together a 6br repeater on a Tikka 595 action. Nothing too lofty. I started to wonder what other guys here were dreaming of building in the new year. Share your ideas, please.
