Staying @ 20" for now but will shorten to 17-18" in future and suppress when I get the green light for a LR build haha
    I’ve got some 129 pro hunters to try if you are interested? Accurate as and medium fast at 43.8 of R17.

    Yeh. Think they’re 129. Have to double check.

    I've given my Model 7 a rebirth From a 260imp to 6XC in a 1:7.5 26 inch heavy barrel.

    PT&G detachable bottom metal with MDT steel mag.

    Gunworks 3 port brake.

    I've put the original factory stock on after filling it with epoxy to add weight and stiffen it some more. I'll get a better stock over time.

    Intended use is for medium to long range match shooting. Likely to shoot a few animals at some point soon.

    Recently acquired from a forum member. .223 1.9 twist. Mounted the 'scope today.

    He did a nice job of modifying a laminated stock back to carbon sort of weight (bare rifle 5lb 14oz).

    Very nice. And in a great caliber. Love my 300saum. Would do me fine as my only rifle.

    Like the hydrodip finish. I have a stock done in the same pattern. How is it for corrosion resistance on the metal?

    Excellent. I will be interested to see how it fares over time.

    How much does the hydro dipping cost?
