[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2266698, member: 59647"] Thanks to everyone for your input. Just following up on this old post with the final result. I decided on the Sherman 7 Max and had it built by Eric Goss at Axis Works. The barrel ended up a bit longer, influenced partly by the availability of components and partly by my desire to get as much performance out of this rig as possible. I was originally thinking Manners EH1, but the XLR element 4.0 chassis got my stock down to less than 2 pounds, all while including a folding buttstock, adjustable cheek piece, dbm, and built in arca Swiss rail. The folding buttstock on the chassis influenced me to go with a longer barrel, as it should offset the difference in barrel length while carrying. I’m not 100% sold on the chassis concept yet, but I’m getting there…….The last photo is early load development with the Berger 195 EOL, 2925 fps, grouping 0.295 at 100 yards with less than 50 rounds on the barrel.Also working on load development with the Hammer Hunter, currently pushing the 131 Hammer over 3500 FPS and the 120 Hammer over 3600 FPS with room for more….[ATTACH type="full" alt="DE86E085-3F71-4B5A-A654-4D1399680422.jpeg"]292602[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="8A47AD57-B883-4276-A929-A4EDFBFABB41.jpeg"]292603[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="B4DB541C-4DC6-45AA-B419-0089C8783217.jpeg"]292604[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="106E85C1-B74C-412D-8EEB-BF5F63FFB7F1.jpeg"]292605[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="F0513852-CF51-4476-B539-582A10B64761.jpeg"]292606[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="3B45DD4D-44AF-4CC0-B66C-5F1D96DC520C.jpeg"]292601[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="1DA114DF-ACB6-4F8E-A1BF-3318AA8128A7.jpeg"]292598[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
