Thanks for everyone's responses. Its barely barrel-heavy, and I'd much rather have it be barrel-heavy than barrel-light. I've had 3 300wsm's in the past and with hunting bullets like the 180 accubond it does great in a short action IME. When you say "8 pounds" are you including the scope in...

The last thing I need is ANOTHER elk rifle - I've been telling myself that for years. So, of course I'm building a custom elk rifle. I am looking for a medium weight 300wsm rifle for hunting elk in the timber and across open loggings. Longest shot would be 600. Bullet would be 185...

These are great actions!

Just to revive this thread, I use wc872 in my 6.5 Swede for CHEAP plinking rounds. Can other users give other rounds they use this powder in? I'm hoping to use it in 7.5 Swiss and 8mm Mauser.

Find a 10 year old downhill/enduro bike, add a bbshd motor (2 hours).

6.5 - best blend of bullet choices, bc, recoil, energy, etc

Btt

Thanks, but I'm looking for a take-off or used stock, this is a low budget project. Not looking to spend $579+. :)

Trying to finish up a project and looking for the above stock. I'd love to find a Mcmillan but other synthetics or nice wood would be ok too. One of the barrels is a 340wby so a squishy recoil pad is a must. No factory tupperware please. Thanks.

I think that McSwirley pattern is called "Can of Diet Mountain Dew"

I have a 340 Wby that I want to buy a barrel chambered for a smaller cartridge for. Anyone have a Mark V barrel for a mag boltface cartridge? Thanks.

I have 3 identical stocks that seem to fit me well and one is needing a barreled action to fill it. It has to be a Rem 700 (or clone) Long Action factory sporter contour. The other two are elk rifles so I'd like to set this up with a lighter cartridge for deer. 6.5-06, 6-06, 25-06, 257Wby, etc...

So, I posted "I'll take it" on Saturday. aebhunter has been on this forum as lately as Tuesday. But no response? Can't he at least say it was sold to someone else, or he kept it, or ???

Absolutely, buy used. Way more gun for your dollars. Its a buyers market right now, lots of great options.
