I had a friend bring me a rifle that he had drilled into the chamber while trying to put on a scope mount. I fitted a new barrel for him and he left the old one with me. I cut about .750 off the back and picked up the threads and cut new ones .750 forward. I then chambered it in 300WSM. Got a savage 110 LA magnum bolt head, machined it for the proper firing pin protrusion and built this AXIS into a magnum, Turned out pretty nice. Got it all head spaced tonight and a scope mounted.
This AXIS was originally in .308, I modified the magazine and it feeds like factory, but only holds two of the fat rounds in the mag :)
