    Long action ...284 or 280AI

    Now just need to locate bottom metal for each.

    What stock are you going to run Grant?
    Jason is pretty solid now. I should have something for the short if you want. Swap you for the CDI
    I have the original Rem BDL floor plate from my BR as well as a 243 follower cut down and 223 spring. I think there was an instruction on 6mmBR.com how to mag feed the BR from a Rem and this was the fix?
    20BR sounds fun!

    Do I dare say the Curse has been exorcized?
    Went for a final run today finishing Abes fine work. A rough sight-in the weekend before ended up a bit unfortunate but a few corrections today and all was bang on (pun intended).
    So I'm now where I'd hoped I'd have been about 18 months ago!
    A new Shillen barrel @ 23" is primo and has possibly broken the curse.
    3.5kg scoped (7lb 12oz) is a great carry weight. Quite surprised by the bark too. She's a noisy brute.
    The 105 AMax is getting along at a fair old clip too @ 3150fps and will punch holes through a warratah @ 100m like you used a hole punch in paper.
    Can't wait for this years spring hunting.

    Phew

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
