7STW, ALL of the admittedly few 7STWs I have had anything to do with have been VERY fussy buggers and the nicest one would NOT shoot anything like it should have.

This was a genuine "Mountain Rifle" from the late Dana Campbell in Alaska, built on a sts Mod. 70 Classic action. My buddy bought it, unfired, from the chap who had it built and I loaded for him and it would NOT bloody shoot.

So, he sent it to Tim and Rod at Corelane and they put a Lilja bbl on it in .338RUM and NOW it shoots "bugholes".....the big 7 seems to be a rather tricky round to get to work like you want it to.
