No, as it is set up for the WSM all the really needs changed is the barrel. Adam

It's been a while but I have some updates. I recently built one for a local guy. A 450 Marlin on the WSM action Winchester 70. He requested a X-Caliber barrel and that was the gist of it. For the build he bought a NIB 325 WSM with CRF. I was happy to note the BACO bedded these rifles to their...

Touche, yes with the 400s I'd limit this guy to 200yds, especially with cast bullets. The 2.5x isn't much hindrance to me. I can accurately (8" plate) hit it @ 400yds with my leupold 2.5x. It takes practice for sure. Adam

200yds is where you're wrong. In a lever gun, yes, but with the 250gr ftx from hornady is a legit 400yds cartridge in a rifle. The drop dead kill zone on a deer is around 8", that a solid 2 MOA. If this rifle shoots 1" @ 100yds then that's half the required diameter to harvest deer. Remember a...

I haven't forgot about you guys anxiously on your seat edge :). My phone camera took a dump and I'm waiting on it to get fixed. Should be ready tomorrow, then back at it. Adam

The new extractor will be here tomorrow, so I'll be doing that, the bolt will then go out for flutting. With top end loads my quick load said about 4000lbs of energy will be generated with a 400gr bullet at 2300fps. Now I'm not even going to touch that in a 6lb gun but it would be a neat...

With the advent of the ODNR allowing certain PCR cartridges for use during gun season I thought I needed a new rifle. Now as you know the 450M has been allowed this year and it made sense to me to use it. It shares the same case head as the WinMag or WSM/WSSM cases and the little Remington 7 has...
