[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1433270, member: 33159"] I purchased a stock Rem 700 7STW a couple years ago and shot the barrel out because I love shooting it so much. It's getting bedded as we speak, and the barrel is a 26" Carbon Six 1:8 twist in their Feather Weight contour. You'll want at least a 26" barrel and a Vias brake is great, and I recommend a brake. 160gr bullets (although I use 140-177gr bullets) and heavier is where this caliber really shines along with a 26" or more barrel. The 160's will kill elk, deer, antelope, etc. The STW likes jump, so you don't have to be close to the lands. I installed a Wyatts DM Box, but it only gives me 3.700" for a maximum COAL. It hasn't been an issue for me, but if you want to shoot the 195 Bergers, you'll want the ability to have a longer COAL. Brass is not a big deal to get a hold of anymore, and Nosler is the best of what's out there currently. Talk to your gunsmith about the STW and the 28 Nosler. They are basically ballistic twins. You may not have to do too much work on it to switch to a 28 Nosler compared to the STW. If not, choice is yours. I love my STW [/QUOTE]
