[QUOTE="Brightwhite, post: 2004332, member: 105768"] I think I have my heart set on a new build that will be a purposely built backcountry backpack gun to cover me from high country Deer & Elk to sheep & goats. I have reached out to two reputable gun builders and both pushed me almost immediately to the 7WSM over the SAUM and a medium length action. I am pretty set on a short action with the build components below to run 168-175gr bullets in the SAUM. It seems that both builders have not had great luck with the SAUM and it turned out to be pretty finicky. Who is the 7SAUM expert builder out there? I do not want a bunch of trouble with this gun because I was married to the chambering and short action, but didnt listen to the experts... Here is what I am thinking. Lone Peak Fusion titanium or Defiance Anti-X in the short action foot print 22" Proof, Carbon 6, or Bartlien carbon barrel (will run suppressed a lot of the time) XLR Element 3.0 magnesium in SA with folder & carbon components 175gr ELDX or the 175 Berger Elite hunter Who would be on your speed dial to do the build?
