[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1752921, member: 92702"] I just built a rifle very similar to what you are describing. Manners carbon stock, proof Sendero lite, 28 Nosler. You are right, it just looks cool. If I had it to do over I would not. If I ever do another carbon barrel it will not be a seriously overbore magnum. It holds heat like crazy, and builds it quick. If I did another one in 7MM I think a 280AI is the biggest I would go. I really like the gun, but you just cannot shoot it much. I would choose a less overbore cartridge if set on a proof barrel. Since you don't reload, and are going to Alaska, if you have your heart set on the Proof, I would lean more toward a 300WM, 338WM, or even a 375HH. Easy to find ammo. HH can be found on the shelf in any big game area anywhere in the world. 300WM almost as common, and 338 usually. Just my $.02 and I promise its worth at least what you paid for it. [/QUOTE]
