Barnard SM

[smith357mag]

I would like know if someone has made a 300 wsm in action barnard sm .Is this a good idea project or I'd better go with another action

I do not believe the SM action is available with a WSM bolt face. You may need to go with the PM action

What do you want to do with the rifle? I have exactly what you are asking about in a Barnard P but it is a single shot rifle. Do you want a 300 WSM repeater and for what?

 

[smith357mag]

I would like a long range rifle hunting for de moose and with whom I can shoot a target . I have a barnard model P 6mmbr and I love it .My fear at the model sm is for feeding with wsm cartridge .

The bolt face on an SM is not large enough for a mag cart and the hole in the bottom of the action is probably too small as well. The SM was designed for 308 size rounds or smaller. You can do it on a P single shot or on the PLM which is really for 338 repeater.

We just heard from Barnard and not suprisingly, Ian is correct in that the bolt face does not have enough metal for the WSM case.

Regards.

PGW sells Coyote actions with a WSM bolt face in either single shot or repeater.
