Hey All!
Lately there has been more and more scammers on the forum board.
They register and replies to members requests for guns and/or parts or other things.
The reply contains a gmail or hotmail address or similar ”anonymous” email addresses which they want you to reply to.
DO NOT ANSWER ANY STRANGE MESSAGES!
They often state something like this:
”Hello!
Saw your post about purchasing a stock for a Safari. KnuckleheadBob has one. Email him at: [email protected]”
If you receive any strange messages:
Check the status of whoever message you. If they have no posts and signed up the same day or very recently, stay away. Same goes for other members they might refer to. Check them too and if they are long standing members, PM them and ask if the message is legit. Most likely it’s not.
Then use the report function in each message or post so I can kick them out!
Beware of anything that might seem fishy!
And again, for all of you who registered your personal name as username, please contact me so I can change it to a more anonymous username.
You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our!
All the best! And be safe!

This May have been covered before but I would like to know, will an 8 mm Rem Mag cartridge be able to fit in the magazine box of a magnum action L61R ( eg. A 7 mm Rem Mag)?
I am thinking of rebarrel to the 8mm RM.
Thanks for any help ......

Yes. The SAAMI specified overall length for the 8mm Rem is the same as the .375 H&H, 3.600 inches. The L61R magazine box is just barely longer by a few one-hundreths. You won't have room to seat the bullets out any longer than SAAMI specs, but all factory ammunition will fit in the magazine.
I once owned an L61R which was originally 7mm Rem Mag and had it rechambered to 7mm STW -- the same case as the 8mm Rem Mag. It worked just fine, although very long bullets did have to seat somewhat below the base of the neck.
