[QUOTE="ARlife4me, post: 3028503, member: 105694"] Don't thread any and go with a 20-22" barrel regardless of cartridge. Use barrel profile to decide on weight. I'm not a 7 fan, but own a 7-08 and 7saum. I'd go 300wm. With you only going 600 and 800 is less of a possibility there's no need for the 300prc with a small amount of velocity gain. About the only gain is most 300prc ammo will offer heavier bullets for hunting (same goes for the 7's). What is the largest animal you think you'll shoot? Having a 6.5creed you have deer sized and smaller covered. Don't worry about popularity is that's any concern? You might want to obtain said ammo before going with a build since you don't reload? Ask Seekins what ammo they used for testing on accuracy for a start. [/QUOTE]
