Not into whizzing contests, but IMO, except for Dober, the above comment generators were pretty clueless...
So from someone who has an STW, here are my observations..
My STW is a DM-B, SS, that I spun the factory BBL off (24"), and replaced it with a factory takeoff in 7mag (SS, 26"), and had it punched out to 7STW. So it is a STD Rem mag contour.
Now have Karl perform his magic, didn't hurt, but this gun with a factory tube shoots 160AB or 160 Partitions into one ragged hole...and that isn't BS either...
This gun prints them just under an inch at 300...
So, I dare anyone to say I can't hit an 800 yard target, with a 160AB starting off at 3200.
The STW really pulls away from the 7mag with heavier bullets. If you are planning on shooting 140's, stick with a 7mag.
Shoot 160's+...get the 7STW.
Flame on.
