Not sure what your deal is. Looking for info on barrels not actions. Not sure just discriminating someone’s rifle is much help. And the vicious begins yet again . . . .

WTF is Plighteder......haha
Been waiting for your wisdom to resurface.
Kyle I would recommend you listen closely and read between the lines to what is being suggested to you.
Hint.....
I ignored it myself and went with a Kreiger and I am sending it to a gunsmith that nobody suggested. Plighteder,is a Technical Term...for Stupidity +P.(grin) Unfortunately,i've never seen or used a Krieger,so cain't comment. And all of my rifles are Factory offerings................

Thank you for the info Joel. I’ll think on it more. I’m just starting to learn when it comes to custom work.

I mis typed before, its actually a bartlein. Gonna get screwed onto my 300saum with a saami chamber. I plan on launching 165-168gr TTSX or partitions at all kinds of animals like I did with the last one. 10t, the same as the factory. I don't have any interest in launching the heavy pills, this will do just fine.

A 30 ShamWow squirting the 165/8 TTSX,is simply a heavy recoiling 7-08,that don't shoot as flat,drifts far more,holds less in the belly,is louder and more expensive to shoot...if only for starters.
Rather poor arrangement,both in Theory and Application.

I know, but I have 400+ pieces of brass and it is the first centerfire I bought. Gonna roll with it. I do have some 7saum brass coming though and that rifle might be a bit different. What actions do you like Stick? I'm looking at a pierce ultralight titanium for a lightweight build. I've read enough to know that the 7mm bullets trump 30 cal all day.

Brass sells...Stupid is forever. Hint.
A Barrett Fieldcraft 7-08 and 180's,smokes it all and then some.

I guess I will just disappoint you, again. Haha. You know you have an open invitation to come fish here. I did buy my buddy a 7-08 but it wasn't a fieldcraft. Pretty sure he isn't going to shoot 180's out of it either. Most likely 120 BT and 140ttsx

I catch more fish on "accident",than the "esteemed" do on "purpose". Hint.(grin)
Bullets matter wayyyyyyyy more than headstamps,whether one has an inkling or not. I simply shoot it all and have the luxury of gunning every chambering/bullet,thus far cited.
The less one "knows" and "does"...the "better" everything is.
Hint.
Laughing!................

I would like to tag along on a steelhead trip sometime. I know that bullets matter more than headstamps but I am not trying to kill critters out at 1K yards. Inside 300 yards is there really a difference among them? I tried to source some 162 AMAX for my 7mm build. You have any you wanna sell to the cause? I'm pretty sure you have a pile of them.

Hint. COAL is far friendlier too. Pardon my shooting it all and then some. Just saying. Hint.................

I am talking about real world bullets, not max BC bullets. If I shoot a mountain goat in the neck with a 168ttsx it isn't going to go any further than it would with a 180....I am not doubting your knowledge but does anyone use target bullets for actual hunting?

Only landed (18) Steelhead,the last day I fished. Nothing huge,but a 38" Buck spit a hook. GOOD bullets have the advantage at muzzle burn distances,to their transonic slip and that Fact is one that everyone loves to overlook. Hint. Trajectory is Physics,Wind is Voodoo and BC mightily hangs on to velocity,like NOTHING else. Hint. Inside 300yds(and WELL beyond),I'm giddy with an 18" Krunchenticker and Rifle Gas,with 75gr Hornie HPBT's. The Hornie .224" 75BTHP wears a .395BC and the .284" 120TSX a .349BC. HINT. I shoot the 162 'Max,BTHP and ELD all. The 180 is THE one and nothing else,even comes close. Re-hint....................

Lotsa Elk have been crushed with 88's. Mooseses are pussies. Pass placement,over a Boob doing her "best". Hint. A CNS shot,is a CNS shot,no matter the wares. Neck shots are a POOR percentage affair,no matter the wares. I enjoy your "critiquing" wares you've never even fhuqking seen,let alone used! Hint. Laughing!.......................

Like I said, I'd like to tag along one day to fish steelhead with ya. Thanks for the advice Stick, it hasn't fallen on deaf ears and it gives me something to think about. Got any centerpins?

Everyone wants a piece of the pie. That is OLD "news".(grin) I fish light and am a GL3 1141-S Slut,wearing a Shimano Coffee Grinder (typically a Stradic 2500 or mebbe 3000). If Centerpins were worth a fhuqk,I'd simply have a few dozen. Beings they ain't,I've none. Hint...................

At least we can agree on one thing, shimano's. I beat the hell out of mine and she keeps on ticking. Sedona 5000 that I beat to hell catching coho for a hand troller. We can fish for them here with hand gear over on the other side of the bay, and it works. You ever see a coho smash a sassy shad?
