            Assuming you guys are going with the 1 in 7.5 twist for the heavier bullets?

              I was thinking the same thing. I went 1 in 8 but having trouble locating Berger 140 VLD Hunting seems everybody I have checked is out of stock and back ordered.

                I'm ready for this rifle, though I'm having some second thoughts about caliber. Maybe I should have gone with .25-06 AI rather than straight .25-06. I went back and forth on this, but decided on .25-06 since I want a 24" barrel and feel that the .25-06 would be better in a 26" barrel.

                  1. 6.5 creed(no surprise) @ 34%
                  2. 7-08(was a surprise) @ 14%
                  3. 280 AI @ 7%

                  The rest were a mix of just about anything you can imagine from 6.5PRC to 338WM.
                  Thanks again to everybody. We're really proud and thankful to be a part of this TBH family. Can't wait to get these things in your hands and start reading the reports!


                  Wow didn’t expect to see that many -08s up there! That’s awesome. Should be some awesome shooters and reports to follow.


                  Sierracharlie out…

                      I did for the 150 SMK but will likely shoot 140g Accubond for hunting

                        Same here, but I might try the 143 ELDX and 140 Bergers as well

                            We're the final order numbers ever posed? Just curious how many folks were able to get in on this and what the breakdown of the different calibers were.

                              Top three choices are quoted a few posts up. I believe 44 total rifles
