what about condensation?

anyway it's a stronger action. that's all that needs to be said.

The tape isn't permanent.

How do you know this?

Look at Forbes stuff then. When you start slabbing actions because you are afraid of strength I have to wonder what the thought process is.

no i said i'm not willing to sacrifice strength for extraction.

i'm not worried about strength, i'm less worried about extraction.

you don't understand that i have a list of things that are important to me balance, accuracy, weight, strength, durability, weatherproof, extraction, feeding, looks, etc.

i weigh strength higher than extraction that is all

But I'm still wondering why you think a Remington is stronger? A test you have done? Perception? You have blown up a few actions?

Where is your frame of reference coming from?

Look at Forbes. Nosler, has said they are one of, if not the strongest actions they have used in their test facilities.

He wanted a Remington Model 7 for his own reasons. He got a Model 7 because that's what he wanted. Period. Case closed, end of story, no need to argue with him about HIS decision to get what HE wanted. It's another Chevy/Ford/Dodge debate. There will never be a winner, it's personal preference.

He is asking on a public forum about slabbing the action to reduce weight and improve balance. In my experience he is better off going with a lighter action to begin with.

Once again, this is a public forum and he is asking.

But like so many here, they have no interest in any response that does not support their own views. They don't want opinions they want validation.

not asking just mentioning. balance is a personal issue about how you hold a rifle if it's not right i'll change it. no one else will be able to tell you how well a rifle balances for you.

i could go with a peirce titanium action but if the balance is wrong i'm not further ahead

Trolling twice on the same thread. Typical.....

because the feel resembles a model 70? come on... not everyone is trolling you.

that was an opinion and i agree with it. it's somewhat like a featherweight only lighter, more compact and stronger.

The feel of what?

are you trolling right now? i shouldn't need to explain your actions to you. everytime he posts you accuse him of trolling it's like you follow him around

[Pathfinder76]

This is why, IMO, slabbing an action is starting to go down a path that would be better directed somewhere else.

I have no idea what you are talking about! If you mean feel between the model 70 and Kimber looking at the photo I posted will tell you immediately that for me the "feel" is nothing the same.

what can you feel in a picture. come on now you have no idea what he was talking about and you jumped down his throat

I have no idea what YOU are talking about. What do YOU mean by "feel"?

[fish_e_o]

feel is when you are actually holding a rifle he could have meant build quality, balance, weight, how it points, how it shoulders, the drop in the stock, how it feeds, the temperature for all i know

either way his opinion isn't wrong and i would say it feels a lot like a featherweight.

Why do you care about build quality of your model 7. You bought a rifle for $800 and are removing $500 worth of stuff. I doubt your got much "build quality" for your $300 action and bottom metal.

i was actually debating if i should use the bottom metal or not

[Pathfinder76]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy and aside from the pillars no aluminum. And it balances on the from guard screw.

LOL...now that's a gooder .... now back to the show , you guys carry on

[double gun]

I will take an aluminum floorplate over a blind mag all day.

Absolutely use it. You won't get an ounce difference in weight going from blind mag to the factory bottom metal.

Agreed 100%

[David Henry]

That all depends on how, where and what you hunt. I charge my blind box mag when we head down the trail into sheep country and it may stay that way for 10 days. Agreed its not so practical if your in and out of the truck in November during whitetail season, and that's where a detachable magazine shines like such offered by Tikka-Savage etc. D.H.

[double gun]

To each their own, but I would take a floorplate over a blind mag no matter what, where or how I was hunting.

That's why I will never own a montana

[silver lab]

After trying a blind mag and the detachable mag, i will never own them again.

I'm with you there. After having a handful over the years I am done with them. I'm in and out of the truck too much.
