First of all I am not a gunsmith. So I may be asking rebuild questions that are not possible to configure.
Project gun - I have a Sako TRG / M995 originally in .300 Win Mag which was re-barrelled to a Shilen .300 Wby Mag.
Problem - When I had the gunsmith re-barrel I did let him talk me into laser cutting muzzle brake holes into the end of the barrel.
I wish to be rid of this deafening sound concussion that I created and am considering a rebuild to a new caliber, .260 Rem.
First question - will this Sako M995 action, bolt face and magazine handle .260 Rem cartridges?
If yes then - Will the AIWS CIP magazine handle .260 Rem cartridges?
First option considered - Send rifle to Shilen and re-barrel to .260 Rem.
Second option considered - KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis for the Sako M995 action if the AIWS CIP magazines will handle .260 Rem.
I no longer need an "elk rifle" and would not miss the heavy recoil either.
Thanks guys,
Michael
