I'm planning to build a light weight hunting rifle. I wanted to build a 7saum but when I looked into it, it didn't seem too different than building a 7ss or 7s max except the latter has better performance. My goal is to push 180 gr bullet 2900+ fps out of a 22" barrel. 7 prc isn't out of the equation but I'm kinda steering away from long action. I'm leaning towards 7s max.
I found a good deal on defiance renegade and classic actions.
The renegade med weights 27oz (I'd really like to use this action)
Classic long weights 24oz
Leaning toward a carbon 6 barrel bc carbons seems like that's what all the cool kids are doing. ha!
I haven't figured out what stock I want. Trying to find a good deal on a carbon stock as weight is a concern.
The wild card in all this is I have a win mod 70 crf 338 that I'd consider re barreling to a 7 prc or 7 max. Or sell to help fund the project.
What's your thoughts.
