Is this conversion possible................and what does one make 7mm stw brass from ??

Anyone done this conversion ??

I did several of these on Remington 700's a few years back when the 7 STW was more popular. I like the conversion because no work is required to make it feed, just rechamber and you are ready to hunt. I have no experience with the conversion on a Ruger.

Actually the 7 STW is still a very good cartridge and usually very accurate.

Of course you will have more recoil, some of my customers would bring the rifle back in and request a muzzle brake intalled. Ka-ching, Ka-ching, Ka-ching. I love it.

PC,
I'm sure it can be done but will be more costly then a simple rechamber of a Rem700 SPS in 7mmRemMag. The SPS stands out as you get a 26" barrel and an action long enough to accept it. Another even cheaper thought ... with your existing Rem700 300RUM ... why not get a switch barrel set-up in 7mmRUM??? For the 7mmSTW ... brass is available or you can use 8mmRemMag brass which is also available.
Cheers...

I would not recomend such a job.
I have a model 70 in the stw and it is built on the H&H length action. It is a great cartridge, and my rifle with loads it likes is astonishingly acurate.
Your ruger has a 24 inch tube (I think) and I do not think it would gain you much if you did the job.
The easiest bolt action would be the remington.
But it would be easy to rechamber a #1 from the 7 mag if you wanted too !

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, I quite like the Ruger actions..................am a bit of a closet CRF fan, but do own a couple of rem 700's
And yes a Ruger #1 stainless Laminate in 7mm stw would make a nice gun IMHO !!

yes... and yes... get a 375 box from ruger for the rsm and away with you !
