Fred the 300 WM found a new home so I'm full speed ahead on the 7 Sherman Short. Found a lightly used custom action with a 23" fluted Bartlein 2B and a McMillan Sako Hunter. Guy says he is getting 2950 with the 180 Bergers without leaning on it too hard. I figure a 175 Eld-x or 180 Berger at close to 3k is good enough for anything I'm likely to do with it.

It's a sexy little bastard with a 180 hybrid which seats barely under the neck/shoulder junction(pic poached off another site) :

Figure I will have it in hand next week. I have my xtrii 5-25 SCR mil sitting loose which will get me going but likely swap it out to something lighter long term.
