I'd say you are correct. I just wanted to test the waters to see if I was missing a caoliber that performs as well or better in the short barrels.

I probably should have mentioned it will be run suppressed 99% of the time. and I'm not willing to buy a suppressor larger than my Omega 300 ( at least not right now) . Likely will run a Proof carbon barrel and a Manners stock and have the R700 action blueprinted.

because I can't leave well enough alone. HAHA. in all seriousness its a VERY cheap 700 ADL I bought brand new for $260 for nothing more than a donor action. I never had intentions of leaving it as is. SO all that said what would you guys do barrel twist and bullet combo for 308 or 7-08?

I loike the idea of NOT fireforming cases and buying off the shelf ammo if I have to. I'm not opposed to buying some more exotic brass, foreforming, etc if I have to get achieve the goal but I'd rather not. I guess I've always leaned towards the 16-18" 308 because its a little more proven...

what does the 7 SAW do in 16-18" barrel that the others won't do?

I'd say hunting will be under 500 (max). banging steel, I don't really care

Hey folks looking for some input. About a year ago I got a great deal on a R700 in 7-08. I bought it with the intention of building a short barreled rifle . its been sitting for a while and I'm thinking its time to start building it. I want something in the 16-18" barrel range. That said...

I can' say 100% but a quick search shows they are 1:9.25

No upgrades. Less than a box of shells through it. Took it in trade from a friend and I want to build another rifle. This is too nice to just tear apart.
