I'm looking for a compact bolt action 7mm-08,260 or 6.5 or 7mm saum for my daughters as their first deer rifle. Looking for something compact (18-22inch barrel), sporter weight. Custom or semi custom would work, just want something in a sporter style package. Trying to avoid building one and going down a rabbit hole of time/money… might end up grabbing a tikka 7-08 and cutting it down if nothing comes up for sale.

Custom action or Remington/tikka is ideal. Not looking for factory rifles. NO creedmoors/savages.

Wouldn't a 6.5SAUM pretty much be a 6.5 PRC? Either way, I have a 22” 6.5PRC MPA hybrid hunter built on Curtis hybrid axiom action. Rifle was $4k and 13month wait from mpa.. wanted lighter so sold the hybrid chassis and had it put in a Christensen arm MPR chassis.. will sell with dies for $2,400 shipped. Chassis is burnt bronze.
Also have a 7SAUM built on bighorn Tl3 long action throated for 180gr Bergers 22” proof carbon barrel eko carbon stock sell it with dies for the same..
Both are under 1/2” rifles.. 6.5 has only seen Hornady factory ammo and fewer than 200 rounds… the 7 saum has not been broken in good and was shooting under 1/2” with first load I put together with the (3) different bullets I’ve used.. 1st being Controlled chaos solid copper 142gr 2nd Hornady eldx 162 3rd the Berger hybrid target 180’s…. All 3 were under 1/2” with first loads.. I’ve put roughly (12) of the chaos, (15) of the Hornad’s , and exactly (16) of the bergers down the pipe.. using 4831SC for the lighter bullets and 4350 for the heavier.. kinda ass backwards but how it panned out.
