I'm looking to build a rifle. I've always loved the 7MM STW. I had a Sendero stainless before. That's the caliber I want. What I am wanting to get input from people on is who do I use to build it with which barrel and such. I've got a 270 BDL I wanted to use the action off of if it will work. Who have y'all used and would you use them again?

Buy yourself a Cooper and save some money and get a lifetime warranty and a guaranteed 1/2 moa rifle. You will thank me later.

The 7mm stw has a different bolt face. You would be better off starting with a magnum action.Originally posted by Arrowslinger1 View PostComment

I can't argue with this. I have a 52 Jackson Hunter in 280. It not on only meets the accuracy guarantee, but exceeds it. Mine shoots 4 factory loads in 3 different weights/bullets less to than .5" at 100 and 1.5-2" at 300 yards.Originally posted by rubydog View PostBuy yourself a Cooper and save some money and get a lifetime warranty and a guaranteed 1/2 moa rifle.

The customer service is top notch as well. Shortly after buying mine used but what appeared to be like new condition the firing pin broke. I contacted Coooer who gave me their fedex account and said send it in. I aslo asked them to repair the scratch in the bottom metal and lap the rings for me. All was done free of charge even after informing them that I wasn't the original owner.
You can do it but the bolt head will have to be replaced and the feed rails opened up to accept the larger cartridge.Originally posted by Arrowslinger1 View Post
If I was going to modify a doner action, I'd look into West Texas Ordinance. Trophy 8 on here has had some really good shooters built by them.Comment

1st off, what is your budget ??Originally posted by Arrowslinger1 View Post
my advice : sell your current rifle and use the funds to buy a Rem 700 magnum action rifle (7mag, 300 WM, etc..)
once you have your new rifle , sell the barrel and stock ... action will be the donor for custom build . Save the bottom metal
buy a used HS Precision stock for $225
Send action to PacNor and they will true/blueprint your action and thread, chamber, install a stainless steel select match grade barrel for $575.
Shoot "as-is" or skim bed action to stock for another $100
throw away factory trigger and buy a JewellComment
