Hi,
I have a M7 - 7 saum and a T3 - 300 wsm. I am thinking of rebarreling one of them. The cartridge would be 7 saum. I think I understand enough from reading all of yours posts on the limitations of each action in regards to the 7 saum.
My question is about barrel contour. I prefer a shorter barrel and also a lighter rifle, but it doesn't have to get to the ultra light category.
I am trying to figure out how much weight I might drop from going from the M7 22" magnum contour to a #2 20" or from the WSM 24" to a #2 20"? I hope I am making at least a little sense. I am just trying to get a ball park figure for the final weight of either rifle with that barrel swap.
Cheers, any other tips, I'm all ears.
