7 SAW

[HGL]

Anyone built a 7 SAW on a long action? I have a Cooper 280AI that doesn't get much love anymore that I'm thinking about repurposing for something.

I've got a Stiller LA that has a .280AI tube on it at the moment with around 1500 rounds on it. I'm probably going to spin up a 7 SAW barrel for it since I have the type II reamer, just haven't got around to it yet as the .280 still has some life left.

The 7 SAW dummy rounds I've loaded up cycle just fine from the BDL set up. My gunsmith buddy has a .308 built on a rem 700 LA and it feeds butter smooth too.

You should be fine rolling with the LA, imo.

Good deal. I *think* I want to convert to M5 bottom metal but may do BDL. Need to confirm I can get a wood Rokstok inletted for it, I don't think its much different from a Rem 700 at all.
