[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1399243, member: 68875"] Nothing wrong with rebarrelling in the 7RM again. Great round, my go-to carry rifle for elk @ 10.5#. Bartlein #3B fluted @ 26" 1:8.5". Shot my bull elk last year @ 662 pushing a 180 Hybrid @ 2996fps, not the fastest load I had, but ridiculously accurate. Shoots in the .1 to .2s out past 1000. I also recently built a .280AI strictly for a lighter weight carry rifle (notice I did not say "lightweight"). It weighs in at 8lbs 15oz with scope and sling. It honestly nearly rivals the 7RM in performance. 26" Proof Sendero Light 1:9". I push a 175 Berger Elite Hunter @ a hot 2975fps into the .2s. 2.9" 3 shot @ 921 yards. But to do this, you need a bolt change from .532" to .473" as well. More $$$. I did the opposite, turning a .260Rem into a 6.5 SS. [/QUOTE]
