[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1299352, member: 12995"] I would suggest looking to the .28 Nosler. It will give you the same performance as the 7RUM, but in a shorter package. The 7mm STW is also a great option that will give you near RUM performance but with much better barrel life, and easier to find brass. The 7RUM will be entirely too long of a cartridge with the 195's to fit in the mag box, which will result in you either shooting it at a single-shot, or having to purchase a Wyatt's Extended 4.000" mag box and follower. The .28 Nosler will keep you from having to buy the extended mag box, which means you save money not having to have the stock inletted, etc... As for which receiver, if you want to go for the .28 Nosler, look for a used 700 7mm RUM or .300 RUM rifle or action as a donor. If you go for the 7mm STW, look for any regular magnum 700 long action. If you buy a BDL or CDL rifle, use the factory bottom metal and mag assembly. Bartlein 26"-28" 1:8 twist Sendero contour is what I recommend. As for gunsmith, there's lots of awesome gunsmiths on this site. JE Custom, Kirby Allen, Chase Curtis, Kevin Cram, the list goes on and on. [/QUOTE]
