My go to, whitetail setup is a GAP NT 7mm-08 with a 23” Bartlein that I absolutely enjoy. The rifle balances very well. My second 7mm-08 is a REM Mt Rifle with factory 22” bbl. It’s fine and I use it occasionally, since the GAP gets the nod more.

My next build will be either a 20 or 18” to run suppressed. Considering a 7 SAW but this project is still in infancy stage.
