[QUOTE="7.62 Gunner, post: 2421936, member: 121641"] I have a full custom built on an anTi action, and while I really like it I have to admit it does nothing that my semi custom tikka builds don't do just as well. Unless you're 100% set on a long action cartridge that is. Please don't take this as trying to step on your plans but here's my take. Hunting suppressed is absolutely incredible! I hunt in the mountains where a shot is just as likely to be split second in the brush as it is to be 800 yards. Muzzle brakes have cost me shot opportunities and in my terrain I'm done with them. A good suppressor will knock the crap out of recoil and with a little practice it makes spotting your shots very easy. I've moved to short barrels with wsm chamberings to get max velocity, the 7 wsm is my favorite but the brass issues steered me towards a 7-300 wsm (which I improved) Personally I would recommend doing something similar to what I just built and skip the cute expensive stuff. The 7 saum is a good choice but the wsm is quite a bit faster. Or you could go with a 7 Sherman max, I hear Mr Sherman has fully formed brass for it from ADG [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/7-300-long-range-improved.292232/#post-2418832[/URL] Here's a run down of my cost for that set up: $500 for a used tikka 270 wsm -$80 for the barrel I sold $375 for the prefit barrel from McGowen, you can send them your action and have it installed for a little more. I ordered an ultralight sub 20 oz stock from MPI for $800 but there are many options out there in the 25-30 oz range $50 for a mountain tactical aluminum tikka magazine, and $10 for a 1 lb trigger spring $1700 for a super accurate sub 6 lb rifle $1100 for the suppressor and tax stamp Plus the scope of your choice I like talley ultralight one piece mounts [/QUOTE]
