661 Oil Test 32:1 vs 40:1 vs 50:1 ?

[Ron660]

Does anyone know if a Savage .308 win bolt action can be rechambered and rebarrelled to a 300 win mag?

Maybe a 300 WSM (win short mag). You have a short-action not a long-action.

I have had several as well. Extremely heavy and very thick due to being made of cheap, chopped fiberglass instead of being hand laid like a Mcmillan.
Here is a H&S on a 375, a MCM on a 300 win and 300 ultra and a pacific research on a sako 25-06AI.

What brand of barrels are on those custom ones? I've had great luck with Krieger but you have a long waiting period to get one. My friend that shoots competition has been using Bartleins.

I prefer the McMillan HTG stock for hunting. Especially in woodland camo. The largest contour those will hold is a #8 which is heavy! My cousin has one in forest camo on a Win 70 action with a #4.5 Krieger in 7mag. He's hitting well at 500yds using 154gr Hornady SST's.

Anyone know how to fix these lazer levels ? it is self leveling ,it self levels still for up and down ,but if i do it horizontal it will not find level anymore ,it worked when i got it real nice ,but now is useless ,just get a beeping alarm ,doing dirt work sucks without this working ,helpppppppp . sorry to derail the 13 other subjects going on .

Open it up and clean out the dirt from the gimballs .......................
Did one a few years ago, was packed with dirt inside .................. stopping the self leveling

Have to retune going from yamalube to Mobil 1.almost 1/4 of a turn on the H screw richer on the 660, I will say it has almost no odor, with my post hole drill the yamalube was making my nose messed up,the Mobil did not seem to bother too bad,also that earthquake drill has a non adjustable carb,and runs way better with Mobil than yamalube or h1 r at 32 to 1

 

[HuskStihl]

Poured a pint of yamalube into 4 gallons of 89 e10, filled 14 empty Tru-fuel cans right to the top and screwed on the caps. Did it over the spot where I changed the oil earlier, and what I spilled cleaned up the oil. I am sad it is crap oil, cause it looks delicious!

You can buy krieger pretty easy from Bugholes with no wait. I like Krieger and have a few, but they don't make a light hunting contour in stainless. As a result I use Rock Creek/ Mike Rock 5R cut rifled barrels.

I have several Zeiss scopes myself. What are you hunting with that 375? Bear...elk?

That was my dad's rifle that he gave me along with a liftemes worth of brass and bullets.He hunted it extensively in Alaska, Zambia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe..Killed just about everything with it including cape buffalo, lion, leopard, elephant, grizzly bear and hippo.
I may use it on elk this year. It really doesn't kick noticeboard more than my 300 ultra and it doesn't tear up meat as bad.

HTG I'd much to heavy for my hunting style. For a magnum rifle I like it to weigh 8lbs all up and a standard maybe .5-1lb less.

I have noticed no differance in tuning between Mx2t and 2R and have ran those two oils the most across many different motors. Are you sure your not tuning over a mechanical issue?

It ran OK with no retune but would not 4 stroke letting out of the cut till I richnend the carb,this is milling with 30 inch wide log

Mixed up a 4.5 litre can of Shell V power with some Motul 800 off road at 45:1 today , i'll see how it makes a saw run .

My HTG w/#8 contour will be only a pipeline or highline rifle were I can see up to 800 yds. It's heavy!

1. McMillan makes great stocks! Although I would not use any of there stocks for a hunting rifle. I have, they are much to heavy for western hunting.

 

[gunnusmc03]

They make them with light fills

I have built rifles with there light stocks, they are to heavy. IMHO

The McM Edge is about as light as you will get a stock and still have some amount of strength.

Don't think I agree, pillar bedded lighter stocks shoot just fine.

Which lighter stocks? Edge stocks come with pillars.
