sorry to hear that wing but I have heard gunsmiths are always running behind, either real busy or as you say or.....took on too much work. Let us know when it comes along.

IBD,
I really would like to give you a report on my new rifle. The problem is, I still don't have it back yet. I went out to the gunsmiths shop last Friday and he gave me some Cock-n-Bull story about the barrel not being the right contour. He said he reorderd it. The barrel is in stock at his supplier and should be here in a few days. Yeah Right. I think he used it for someone elses build and put mine on the back burner. I will try to go out there tomorrow as that has become my traditional Friday routine. I am generally a very patient guy, but I am starting to loose my patients.I took it out there on May 5th for gods sake. as soon as anything changes I will let you all know. Wing master

Will look forward to it.
Re your modified short action. I've done that. One slight problem on mine is you can not eject an unfired/loaded round from the chamber. need to remove the bolt and take the unfired case out the back!!!!??? will look for you new thread. |

The .284Win I currently shoot, was built for me years ago on a standard Rem. 700 short action. In order to allow optimal COAL with 140 grn or better bullets seated well out, the GS opened up the forward section of the box magazine and made a few other miner adjustments to the feed ramp. That short action allows me to load a 3" COAL cartridge if need be, with not a bit of binding.
So not a "Standard" short action internally, but someone better know what they are doing before whittling out an action too. Bear, so as not to hijack Wing's thread anymore than already, gonna start another one soon I bet you'd appreciate. I'm in the midst of modifying a CZ527 Youth model in .223Rem into an 18.5" bbl, FS Carbine. Will start that thread when it's finished and I can post pics! Edited by Goatlocker |

Sounds great. Problem with lots of 'so called short
action cartridges', (like 257 R, 7x57, 284, 6.5 swed) is they really don't fit a short action (308 length). So I prefer these in a standard long action (30-06). So your custom action should give you plenty of room to seat bullets out. We will need pictures!!!!!! |

Bear, it will be built on a proprietary short action, similar to a Rem. 700,
and sized for the .284Win. A hair longer than the basic short action, shorter than the typical medium action. Weight of rifle without scope is just under 5lbs. If it shoots as these do historically, it will not be picky about ammo it likes. Edited by Goatlocker |

Good luck with your rifle Wing, I look forward to seeing pics of it and hearing your range reports. I too am waiting for a rifle build to complete. Have waited 20 years for this rifle, and finally committed this past winter by sending off my deposit. It will be another .284Win (my favorite), and should weigh in at only 5.25lbs with 22" stainless bbl. Hopefully mine will be done by fall.

Bear, I am hoping to have it ready for 'lope this year.
700HE? That sounds like something Hubbel 458 would build. I'll stick with the lighter recoiling rifles. Wing master |

My Swede's on the back burner for awhile....too much else of importance at the moment. Good call on the cerekote. Given any thought on nickle-boron coating the bolt lugs and guides? Like silk dipped in butter!
Wing?......I seem to remember at some point you were eyeballing the 700HE. Whatever became of that? Got that chambered in a Howdah? |

...oh yeah! thats gonna hurt!

Also, I called my gunsmith this morning and added
threading the barrel for a supressor to the work order. Just in case the hearing protection act passes. Wing master |

Thanks Robert. That was a very informative article.
JSG, My goal is to end up with a good all around hunting rifle. Kinda my go to rifle. I also want to be able to go to the range and shoot 20 to 40 rounds without causing a flinch that I have to deal with later. I am not a long range hunter. The Swede will be plenty fast for anything up to Elk at the distances I will be hunting. As of now, my maximum range is 400 yards. Bear, I have been beating myself up over the caliber off and on for over a year. I hope it makes me happy too. Wing master |

First thing on that should be replacing the safety though. Surprised you opted for the swede. I was pulling for you to make a Nosler in either the 26 or 28. Keep us abreast of the progress. |

I bet you're right Bear. I will ask him what all he does but I am sure squaring up the bolt has to be part of it. Wing master |
