[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 2332718, member: 55851"] I am looking to build my first custom rifle. I didn’t know this would be so hard deciding on what I want and what would best suit my needs. I want a long range cartridge that provides the least amount of recoil and that will have good performance in a short barrel (suppressed). I was originally thinking a 7 saum to shoot 180 gr Berger Hybrids. Then I hear that a short action is too short to seat them properly and get performance. I then thought, hey the 7 SS would work. I am not crazy about the Hornady dies (no real reason though). Then I thought, the 7 SST has nice Forster dies, but will I get the performance? Then I thought, I’ll do a long action 7 saum, but that seems like a waste and XM actions/stocks are super hard to get. What should I do? Looking at the following parts list: Kelby Atlas Tactical Rock Creek Carbon Barrel AG Composite Alpine Hunter (maybe adjustable) Trigger Tech Primary Please help guide me! Steve [/QUOTE]
