Huge fan of the 7mm-08 but interested in a little more niche cartridge for reloading.
7mm-08 AI
260 AI
or just go straight 7mm-08 or 6.5 PRC?
I would say it depends on your situation. If your already geared for 260 with dies, brass and such go with the AI since those things are so hard to find. If starting from scratch PRC might be the choice.
Personally I really like the thought of a 7-08AI and it will be one of my next builds. Plus you can shoot factory ammo out of it in a pinch with still good performance.

Sierracharlie out....
Interesting... no 260 dies. I’m currently set up for straight 7mm-08, so I could adapt with one additional die pretty easily.
18” 7mm-08 1:9 Option 1. Would have loved to get option 2 folder, but after handling there was a few things that I knew I would not care for quickly.

I guess I'm the opposite...
I was all in on this option 2 folder from the gitgo until 2 things happened....
First, the voting thread pretty much killed the possibility in my mind of this getting off the ground, and secondly I built a nice little folding stocked TC Encore in a 7mm 08 with a 20" threaded barrel that isn't nearly in the same class as this one here but it took the edge off of my urge to scratch that itch. So I was content to go with option 1, which in my opinion is likely the sweetest group build rifle yet anyway.
Then, I made the mistake of picking up the sample lightweight Shorty folder in the shop at APR and daaauuummmnnn!!
I liked it so much that I immediately decided that I didn't really need that $3,495
(plus scope & rings)
(plus the option 1 build, with scope & rings)
(plus more ammo etc.etc.etc.)
Sweet azz custom rifle collecting is a helluva drug! 🤣😎

I’m not certain the bullet seating due would be usable due to the shoulder profile change but worst case scenario would be a set of dies and you’re ready to roll.

For me the check weld seemed high and likely not work with a low scope, and the takedown pin protruded and rested in the meat between my thumb and pointer. Maybe just how I gripped or my extra large hands but enough for me to pass and go option 1.
