    Put a Shaw 35 Whelen barrel on my 110 receiver for the chassis build. I haven’t had a chance to really exercise it yet. Easy build as usual, a bit front heavy with the magnum contour barrel.

    Yeah, you kind of need the chassis with a longer forearm.
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Swapped an 06 barrel for a 338-06 a couple years ago. 1980s 110C. does well but kicks hard!

    That’s awesome!

    How well does it do on big game?

    I had a Savage 110gpx3 combo in 7mm Mag, and that kicked quite a bit. It just had the plain plastic butt plate, with the hardwood walnut stain stock.
