That'll work. |

| Jon, I didn't realize they let civilians have toys like that in New Jersey. How 'bout some pitchers of 1,000-yard groups?

Why I would never live out there...I can shoot as far as I want within an hour of downtown Phoenix. |

Now you're talkin' I am off blue fin fishing this morning in PEI. |

| Hi Biebs, Awesome set up however I don't think I can't find sturdy enough gunbearers:-(( I'm interest in how that "chamber conversion" works. Can a competent Gunsmith do it or does he need extra special tools/skills, being a BLOUSER and all??? I've told that special reamers are needed as "average" reamers just scratch chambers.. I have a 338WM in semi weight and want to have it reamed out to 340WM. I have brass and fireforming belted brass is easier in Africa than finding RUM brass. BUT the RUM sounds better..:-) What About the bolt head and the Magazine insert in the standard blaser stock setup? RUM/Weatherby ideal back up round IMO I'm not a Blouser basher but serious convert to the dark side Would really appreciate the advice from a true Blaser man!! Regards Leon |

| Hardened barrels ? What steel do they make them with ? Please don't shoot to the west , It will be too easy to reach me with the .338RUM ! You should limit those shots to your NJ bears ! Did you see the post of a fellow that wanted to use a 375 H&H for black bear .I guess he confused them with a T-Rex ! |
