Longer, heavier barrel

[axarob44]

I have a .300WM in a Manners T4A currently with a 24" MTU Bartlein. I have a custom 30" Krieger 9 twist MTU I want to get mounted up. I was wondering if I would have to do a barrel pad or some other modification for the heavier, longer barrel ? It is a Manners Mini Chassis with no extra bedding right now.

What action? I built a similar gun with a 30" heavy varmint in 7mm. I went with a TL3 with heavy tang.

If you have a monster Surgeon XL bedded in a Sniper fill Mc, you don't!

Sorry forgot to mention the action. Its a trued Remington. The stock is a standard T4A with mini chassis. I hope I can make it work.

Here’s a 28 inch MTU in a T4A on a stiller 338 action. I know it’s not a Remington, but this has no barrel pad etc.

Man, sweet rifle! No issues? Is that a mini chassis?

 

[Simia Dei]

Thanks mate. No mini chassis, just bedded.

It's currently for sale, but I'm located in Aus...

Haha , yeah if were a wealthy man i’d come a get it from you!

Couldn't tell you about the 300wm but I'm running modified heavy varmint profiles (1.25" out 5" then straight taper to 1" at the muzzle) at 28-30" finish length on a few Pierce short actions & they don't have any issues in my AICS stocks. All shoot fantastic!

That Pierce action is one rigid SOB. Has one by AO on my 6.5 CM, didn't really need it but I was real happy with the performance. I bought the gun used here on the hide. Was in a AIAX chassis and it was pretty much a hammer.
