[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1504810, member: 12995"] I think Matrix makes some good high-BC 8mm bullets. Personally, I think it's a cartridge that should have been kept around, but due to lack of heavy high-BC bullets, it was slowly killed-off. You could always keep it for a donor rifle... That would make a perfect platform for a 7mm SS (Sherman Shortmag) build with a 26" 1:8" twist Proof CF barrel. Toss on an EGW HD 20MOA rail, and a new Zeiss V4 6-24x50, mounted in some low (0.82") Seekins rings, and you got one badass hunting rig for just about anything in N. America. Just saying... :cool: I've got a custom built A-Bolt II 7mm RemMag, and once they've been slicked-up and blueprinted, they're even smoother and more refined than any 700 I've shot...And I'm a HUGE 700 fan. The 60º bolt throw is also really nice and fast. The only thing that kills the Browning A-Bolts is that internal magazine box...It's very short from front to back, so you can't always stretch-out the bullets as close to the lands as you'd like.
