    Stupid Barrel Question

    All barrels I've seen get cut the manufacturer marks them on the muzzle with a sharpie indicating how much to cut. Lapping doesn't reach the end and usually an inch or inch and a half comes off or however much you want beyond that.

    Stiller Actions?

    You should have spoken with John or Jim. When they made my action for my Norma Jim asked me if he could do a full 9" for the extra barrel threads and if I wanted the ejection port opened for a full length cartridge removal. He also gave me the option of a rem clone or BR rear tang. Truly a top...

    6.5 creedmore barrel suggestions

    If you trust your smith trust his opinion and go with what he prefers. It is more likely he will stand behind his choices. There are plenty of good / great barrel makers out there. Some have been more consistent than others throughout the years and some have gone through growing pains and other...

    savage vs. stiller

    There is nothing wrong with Savage, but for this build given the choice its like a Yugo and, well you know. I have seen several Savage 338L rifles that couldn't handle pressure very well. I've seen 3 that peaked at 2650fps with a 300 grainer and hit pressure. All three left the owners scratching...

    300 NORMA MAG ?

    Yes any long action Rem if you are getting a new bolt. I did my 338 Norma off a long action in 257 Roberts and used a PTG bolt with a tight fit. They will turn them to any diameter. If you have yours opened it is easier for the smith to start with a non mag bolt face such as a 30-06 and open it...

    300 NORMA MAG ?

    You don't need a "Lapua gun" although that is one way. You can also buy a PTG bolt with the proper bolt face, or you can have your smith open up a Rem bolt face. If you go with the Rem a standard face is better so when they open it they can cut away the extractor clip groove without leaving any...

    338 Norma Magnum

    This is my second one and it tends to shoot well with about any load I put through it 1-2 grain sweet spot. The deer absolutely hate it.

    338 Norma Magnum

    This is my 2nd the first was a 700 with PTG bolt 26" Broughton. This one is a Pierce XL with a Broughton 26". It shoots H-1000, RSM or R-22 with a 300 SMK 10-15 off not picky. Been shooting H-1000 mostly and it holds 1/2 MOA at 600 pretty easy, either 215M or CCI 250's.
