Any good bugger on here have a 7-08 reamer I could borrow or rent ? Scored a 284 Shillen barrel off tardme a while back and had a look down the spout with a borescope this week, looks like a decent option for long-range gongs, then I can chop the original barrel down to bushpig length.
Ta, ebf
You are going to ream the 284 barrel to 7/08? I dont think that will work unless there is a heap of knox left?
If i am reading the first post correctly I think EBF has a new shillen barrel with a 284 hole thru it rather than an actual .284 chambered barrel. But I could be wrong I have been beforeQuote:

If its already 284 then SAUM or WSM would be the only options wouldnt it?Quote:

.284 caliber barrel, enough Knox left, will cut off the existing tang and thread outside for savage action.
Was a 7mm RM previously, but after looking down it with a borescope it seems to have done very little work.
see.............. I was wrongQuote:

Cheers - looks interesting mate :thumbs:
If I can find a reamer that is the plan.
How is your FTR project going ? You shooting Wairarapa on Monday ? I'm heading up for Gisborne champs and will do Wairarapa on the way back.
