Gunsmithing Tooley MBR Magazine?

[Lynn Jr]

I put together a couple long action 700's in 338 Norma Ackley Improved and 338 Lapua Ackley Improved.
I want to use the Tooley MBR stock but as a repeater.
Can it be done?
And what bottom metal and magazines do I need for the 256 flatline?

Ummm there's a first time for everything. In all these years I've never heard of anyone making a repeater using that stock. I would think anyone's bottom metal would work. You probably want CIP length mags.

I want to make them just like a 1000 yard lightgun but for deer hunting from a bench.
I figured if anyone had done it you would be the guy.
I am in California and this year we can't use lead core bullets for hunting so I am stepping it up to the 338's with a solid.

You'd just have to the bottom medal the right depth. When you're done Kelly McMillan and I need pictures.
Interesting concept. Suppressed a guy could some damage before they figured out what was happening.
Hornady GMX bullets do a good job on game. Their 30-185 has a BC of almost .500. That's enough BC to get you way out there if your barrel likes them.

That's why I went 338.
All the smaller stuff has a terrible BC number.
Last several years I have been using a 6mm-06 with Lapua 30-06 brass and 57 grains of H1000 to get 3425fps out of my old 30 inch 6BR and Dasher barrels.
You don't need new tenon threads and can run the reamer into the old chamber without worrying about the shoulder from the shorter cartridges.
It was perfect until California outlawed lead bullets.
I will give it a try and post the results good or bad.
