1.I like cut rifling, Brux,Obermeyer,Krieger,Rock are among the best. If 7mm i'd opt for a 1-8" twist, 1-10" on a 30,9.3" on a 338. I'm a firm believer that extra RPM aids in bullet performance, especially mono bullets.
2.Whatever interests you
3.buy an aftermarket action from BAT,Defiance or the like, i'm building off a Pierce TI at the moment. By the time you get done dressing up a 700, and consider in the donor price you could have just purchased one ready to build on.
4.McMillan gamescout, edge fill
5. Cerakote
Great info, thanks
