      Thanks for all the info! And giving everyone such a great deal! I don't own anything from you yet but plan on getting in on this! Pretty set on a 300wm in tier 1 but also would like to get something a little smaller for the girlfriend and range time for me. Thinking 7mm-08 but everyone talking 6.5prc has me torn. Tier 1 as well. Then deciding on colors... decisions decisions.

        I've also ordered tier 1 in 300wm. 26" bbl. was planning on 28" but for the difference in velocity it wasn't worth the extra 2" since I will have an ultra 7 on the end. Animal on the other end won't notice the velocity difference. Should be enough for anything in North America at the distances I'm comfortable shooting

            I was thinking of trying to get the 300wm in 24" but may end up with the 26

              I don't mind a little longer pipe, especially for a magnum. Gives a little more room to burn the extra powder

                I’m going graphite black on both rigs.

                  My only reason for the 24 is for packing as it will be a hunting rifle. I hunt some pretty steep and deep stuff chasing elk and muleys. Figured it will be about 26 after the brake.

                    If you reload you might could use a little faster burning powder to make up the velocity difference.

To me those long range hammers are what a carbon fiber build is all about. I mean if it's light it's not a great bench gun it's meant to be packed up and down mountains or across rugged deserts where your going to want a long range hammer. If I was doing tier 1 it would be a 300wm, 7 rem mag, 28 Nosler, etc.
                      Even 300 RUM is no problem with a good brake.

                      My 28 Nosler ultralight by APR weighs under 6 lbs and it’s not excessive pushing 195 grain Bergers with the brake.

                        Thanks for the input. I’m thinking tier 1 in 300WM with the brake for a good all around big game mountain gun.

                            Went with a 10 twist. Got it throated for the Berger 215s also. What are you thinking of going with?

                              I'm torn there as well lol. Was kinda thinking of changing it up and going 9 or 9.4 but the 10 is also a good option. I'm no expert though.. wish I was. Maybe someone on here is and will point me in the right direction.

                                For the 7mm-08 guys did you go 1-9 twist or something else?
