[QUOTE="budlight, post: 454242, member: 2939"] Presently I have four different vendors aftermarket barrels. all of them good with some innovative concepts. You need to read up on the theory behind 3 groove barrels. I even bought a 30 inch barrel for my 30-378 with an increasing twist rate cut rifling. You look up every barrel manufacturer and the prices are all pretty close. You will enjoy the 7STW i would recommend 28 inch. I stewed over going 30 inch, but I came across an article talking about the barrel length and diminishing returns for inches longer. I predominately use 175 spbt for elk hunting with my 7STW. Out of the 5 elk all one shot taken by myself and loaned to friends. No bullet was ever recovered. it is probably do to the fact that they were all taken at sub 250 yrds. [/QUOTE]
