        Also I want a little sage green added to it.
        Please call the shop. Garret probably has a name for it now, since several were ordered today.

          Shouldn't cause any slow down. We'll either have enough to add to the order, or we won't.

                I have a feeling you are going to see a lot of that pattern!

                  I’m still wanting to see a good pic of these most desired stock color patterns that you guys speak of.

                      I may have missed the discussion earlier, but what are the advantages and disadvantages to going 20” on the 7-08 barrel?

                        Interested in this as well. I ordered a 22” bbl in 7-08 assuming I’d end up with a 24” in the event Proof couldn’t deliver a length not listed on their website.

                          So, that’s the carbon desert night pattern?
                          Is it being offered with a touch of green added?

                            First.....you guys have been keeping my front help busy today Talked to Proof, and they said to expect barrels around the first of April. So it looks like the switch is not impacting the schedule too badly. For the one-offs like the 20" 7mm mentioned in an earlier thread, they'll do them with a minimum quantity of 5. So if enough folks want a length not listed on their site, it can be done.
                            Are you expecting the rifles will be finished in April? Teir 1 and 2?

                              Primary advantage is that if you decide to run it suppressed you still have a short handy rifle. Without a suppressor it is definitely handy. The 7mm-08 is one of those cartridges that doesn't give up a lot of velocity when you shorthen the barrel, I've seen tests that show only 17 - 25 fps loss per inch, even down to 18". So going down to 20" vs 24" you're only going to give up around 100fps.

                                What barrel length and twist are the 28 Nosler people going with? I don't reload so expecting bullet weight will be between 160-175gr. Thinking 26" with 1:9 right now
