[QUOTE="tydaws, post: 2936270, member: 95798"] That changes things. Since you are in a position such that mag length is no issue on the Tikka and assuming you want max performance out of the 7mm-08 size case, I'd probably go with the 7mm-08 AI, custom throated for whatever bullet you are wanting to run. That is assuming that you don't mind fire forming. If you don't want to fire form, the 7 SAW gets the nod (this is exactly why I went 7 SAW, range time can be quite limited with career, family, kid sports, etc.). The AI with a long throat will be about the most you can get out of the 7mm-08 parent case. If you're still wanting more performance, with the long action option, a long throated 284 or 284 shehane may be worth a look. However, I'd recommend talking to someone that knows more than me about getting the 284 to feed in a Tikka. May not be in issue, I just don't know. Sounds like a fun project! [/QUOTE]
