[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1769041, member: 33159"] I put a new barrel on my 7STW about 2 years ago. Went with a carbon wrapped barrel by Carbon Six. 26" + brake and 1:8 twist. I replaced the hinged floorplate with a Wyatts Mag box that didn't require any inlettting (3.700" max COAL). I've been very happy with it. The rifle is a tack driver and I shoot an assortment 140-177 gr bullets. The only thing I would possibly do differently is go up in size on the Wyallts Mag box and have the stock inletted for it so I could seat the heavy bullets out longer. But, it's really not an issue. I still get 3500 fps with 140 gr bullets and a little under 3100 fps with the 177 gr bullets. It's a laser beam of death to any animal in its flight path [/QUOTE]
