So been thinking about a new boom stick for a while, something with a bit more grunt, I’ve heard the 28n is the latest and greatest. What would be the best way to build one? Could I just get a Remington 700 in 7mm rem mag and get it rechambered? Is it that easy? I don’t really like the look of those Browning’s so was thinking something semi custom
Get in touch with Cam on here�� @camo wsm
Have a chat to @Kiwi Greg
I reckon cheapest option is to tech Amber a Howa.
Will be accurate and reliable.
Be aware the 28 and it’s Nosler brothers are hard on throats and you can ruin a barrel very quick if you don’t clean them properly or take time to let them cool.
That said barrels are expendable items and as a good and recently late mate always said “fun costs money “!
Another cheaper option over a custom is a Christensen which is like a semi custom rifle. I’ve got a mate deals in them.
Purely for hunting the browning is a very well put together rifle.
The browning quality is far higher than the current remington out of the box.
This could be an option?

I have had a bit to do with a 30 Nosler and I can sum it up in one word...............AWESOME
Yeah I have seen that, but I like the idea of building something up, and tarting it up as I can hide the cash from the mrs
fixed itQuote:

Have a talk with Stacey at Hamills Tauranga, He has one and recently shot a group just over 4 inches at 1200 yards. He loves them.
Yes you can do it as simply as that, but you will be limited to 180gr bullets as a max. Also if you want something that's capable of shooting little group's at long range i'd suggest using an after market match barrel on it.Quote:

Pretty cool cartridge especially when shooting the likes of a 180 eldm or 195gr Bergers.
I had been following Ryan Pierce's custom 28 Nosler builds via FB before i had mine built.
Them seem to be an inherently accurate cartridge.

Yep all the LA 700s are the same length.
If you want to run 195s seated out in the neck you'll need to put a Wyatt extended mag box in it.
I used a custom Stiller Predator action (700 clone) which was already inletted for the Wyatt box.
I run a T2, it works awesome!Sent from my SM-G930P using TapatalkQuote:

Similar to what I did about 2-3 years ago before 28N and went with 7-375. Greg answered all my questions and was only to happy to help.Quote:

theres a 28n in the for sale section.
Wow, the info on the ballistics is crazy. a 280Nosler with 180gr pills @ 3250fps !! really ? You'd struggle to achieve that with a 7mm weatherby.
In load testing I had 195s to 3175 fps in mine, no excess pressure signs. But I dropped back down to the next node at 3070 fps to be easier on brass and throat hopefully.Quote:
