[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 915894, member: 30902"] If you are building it for a dedicated LR rifle I'd say a Sendero Taper and 28". If you are going to use it as a carry/mountain rifle, magnum bull contour in the same lengths unless you are planning on sub 600yds shooting in which case you can go with a standard magnum contour. I'm a huge fan of the 7mm STW and was jus about to pull the trigger on a nice 6.5 STW when I learned the 26 Nosler is coming out. That changed my mind and that's the direction I'll be going due to the availability of factory ammo and good Nosler brass. When it comes to barrel length though with a case that large with that kind of powder volume it seems like a real wast not to go with at least the 28" barrel so you can get the full benefit of the slower burning powders like H-1000 RL22 and RL25.
