[QUOTE="Spazmor, post: 975993, member: 82511"] Hi LRHers, My first post. I've come for your experience and wisdoms. As the title suggests, I'm looking to purchase a LRHing rifle in 7mm-08 and I'm a little overwhelmed by the number of different brands & models. Would like to hear some opinions. Here are some desirable features. I'm prepared to make some compromises: [LIST] [*]I think I like the 180grain VLD hunting proj which calls for "1:9" or faster". Most 7/08s I have seen come with 1:9.5 twist. I think that should be ok for the heavy rounds I plan to use.. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Pref around/under $2000 AUD (1800 USD) [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Heavy barrel [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Synthetic stock [/LIST] [LIST] [*]I'm kacky handed (Left) [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Barrel length? I know there's a relationship between cartridge and optimal length but haven't worked out exactly what that is.. [/LIST] Thanks in advance :) [/QUOTE]
