[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2340354, member: 87243"] He doesn't really care about the chambering much, just wants it to work on deer and elk. He is relying on me to put together a gun that is slick to shoot, I know any of these chamberings would be plenty manageable with a quality brake on a 9.5 lb rifle, which is about what this will end up at, and would still be manageable with a supressor as well, part of why I went with a 7mm vs a 30 cal. At first he said same caliber as my wife's so they can use the same ammo, but I informed him that just because they are the same chambering doesn't mean that ammunition will be interchangeable, and possibly even unsafe to use one guns ammo in another, so after that he said he doesn't care, just whatever I think is best. Actually, that is another consideration I didn't really think of.....it may be better to do his in something other than a 7 max, simply so they don't accidentally mix up ammunition. It might not make a difference and be perfectly fine to do so, but it also may not, and you simply don't know until you have loaded for the gun. [/QUOTE]
