Bumping an old thread cause I now am about to place the order with Hart. I looked at their pricing and I think using them for all the work is going to be a little bit cheaper than having my local gunsmith do the work. Anybody use Hart to rebarrel your action? Were you happy? Did you have to...

Like everyone else 300 grain partition in 45-70.

Well I talked to my normal gunsmith and I knew did custom rifle work but never talked price. I feel confident he can do the work and he offers a 1/2" Moa guarantee so that is settled. I have decided to go with hart since they make the profile I was looking for and krieger does not. He also...

If you had to pick one dr which would it be?? Service at either one better if you consider the barrels equal??

Ok I have been looking at this some more. I am really disappointed in not being able to get krieger in stainless contour I wanted. It looks like the two options that are coming to the top are the pacnor and the hart barrels. I like the idea of being able to get the whole thing done in the same...

Crap I didn't know that about the kreiger in 6.5. That is a little larger than I was looking for in a hunting rifle. If it was fluted it might be alright but you can't tell what the minimum they will flute. Does anyone know what a standard featherweight barrel would be? Medium sporter...

My current 260 is a remington 700 mountain rifle with a 22" barrel, 1 in 9 twist all factory specs. The longterm plan is a battery of four rifles. 1. 260 or 6.5x55. 2. 280AI 3. 300 H&H 4. 375 H&H I don't need more than the 6.5x55 or 260 in that class. In my opinion if you are...

Other than that is what I have? I want a 6.5 with flexibility and longer barrel life. 6.5x55 loaded to proper pressures in modern actions per Norma loads can equal 6.5-284 and not cramp the powder space or seat bullet ogives inside the neck on the heavier bullets. I have a 260 that this will be...

I am finally going to do it and put together a custom rifle. Every time I save the money I end up taking another rifle home instead. Not this time I am going to see it through. I have an fn stainless featherweight in 270 that I am going to use as a donor. I am really looking for my dedicated...

My top 3 choices. 1. Winchester 2. Winchester 3. Winchester If one of those aren't available go somewhere else. I had Sako, Steyr, remington, browning sold them all after buying my first Winchester 70. Except for one model 700 mountain rifle in 260 mainly because of caliber.

DrMike Have you used that bump die yet? I found one on sale and am about to buy it unless you think it is a better paper weight.

Ahhh the dreaded double post!! :oops: Need to work on my trigger control. :lol:

That is what got me thinking about the 300 h&h, I was holding a ruger #1 cabela's 50th anniversary in my local cabelas this past weekend. I really don't think it will be any better than my 300 wm but I have to admit the 300 h&h cool factor is off the charts. 8) 8) I realize I would also be...

This caliber has been calling to me of late. Has anyone played with one and can give their take. I already have a 300 wm model 70. It seems the ruger #1 might be the most economical to step into this caliber. Will it make me downgrade the 300 wm or will it sit in the back of the safe when I take...

Mine loves the H4831sc with the 125 partition. If you dive into the 120's it seems to prefer RL19.

I think it depends on your twist. I have a .260 with a 1in9 I have tried to shoot the 130s and 140s but just never shot as well as 120bt and the 125 partition

Here is my battery of Model 70's. FN 300WM, FN Stainless Featherweight 270WIN, and New Haven 458WM. I have a model 700 LSS in 260 but have been considering selling it to buy another FN Stainless Featherweight in 243 and rebarreling to 260 to complete the superfecta. Be careful when you lurk...

Here is a picture I just took for other thread on a single manufacturer for a battery of rifles. I didn't notice the mud on the scope until I uploaded the picture. Give it a little character I guess. From left to right: FN 300WM needs a scope, FN 270 SS w/Z3 in S&K mounts, brand new to me...

I have a 3-10x42 with the brh reticle which is just a brx with heavier lines. I have it a new Winchester 70 stainless featherweight in 270. Great combo love them both. I used it this year the first time deer hunting. It got to where I could no longer see with the naked eye but looking through...

I am looking for a set of dies for my new 270 win. I saw a forster seater die on sale, but wanted to know if someone could enlighten me on a forster bushing neck sizing die. Can someone explain how they work and if you would recommend them. Right now I have been buying an rcbs set with fl and...
