THANKS DOGS, I don’t think I will add a can but that could change. I am not recoil sensitive shooting a 7rm tikka super light so I will probably be fine. If I decide on a can will a 21” barrel still burn the powder effectively? Like I said I only own stock rifles. Thank you! John.

Made another decision today. I had my mind made up to get the McMillan Game warden 2.0. They are very nice. I have shot them and don’t think you could go wrong. Well, I went to MPI Stocks in Vancouver Washington today and was able to put my hands on some very nice stocks. My Gun Smith was...

Again, Thank you all. Much appreciated insight! John

Thank you everyone! I have a lot to digest. Having spent all day on my *** today Looking at stocks, barrels, triggers etc. I have realized I know less today than yesterday. LOL I AM HOWEVER VERY EXCITED TO PROCEED!

Thank you all for the input. I have to say I am incredibly excited to have my custom rifle built. I spend a small fortune Hunting multiple states and shooting rats every year and have never had a custom rifle. I retired from the construction industry and always worked with the top of the line...

Thank you for your input. I am kind of leaning towards the 180g. I will look at the stocks mentioned also if the smith has any in the shop. I was looking at that Manners and it is very comfortable.

Hay all, Looking for a little insight from the forum. My gunsmith is going to build me a custom 7mm rem mag. It will be my primary hunting rifle. Looking for light weight, ergonomic, accurate rifle. I have three stock 7mm rem mags that have been good to me but just want something that feels...

I shoot the 40 grain in 224 and have the same problem.

Great thread.

GREAT INFORMATION. Thank You.

Thank you all for a great starting point. I will the try the various powders and work my way up.

Thank You!

Just wondering if you found a good load? The Daughters Boyfriend just bought a 7 mm REM Mag Tikka Superlight and the 150 GRAINS WERE THE ONLY ELD X’s I could find. I shot my last two deer with 6.5 143 grain ELD X’s and was impressed with performance. The Powder choice that I have on hand is...
