Which action for 7mm backcountry.

[Highvoltage1]

Any known backcountry builds yet? Not much info out there. I saw some proof prefits but not much else. Hopefully this one gets a little backing.

I saw a 20" fierce in 7bc at a local shop today. Cool looking gun, but due to what I've read with fierce, it has me scared away.

I was thinking about this today. I’m probably going to build off a tikka for an NRL comp rig but also suitable for back country hunts. But I also want to build a 7BC.
Proof does have a shouldered prefit for the tikka t3x

I might get a Christensen evoke. They seem to be having better luck as opposed to the savages

Best to wait a couple years before a build in this caliber before it’s just another dead end caliber with scant factory loads.

I'd probably go with a bat igniter long action, has 1-1/8" tenon, oversized lugs to handle lapua/norma cartridges. You'll need a barrel with an 1.250 shank to thread up properly to the larger tenon thread. The igniter/hr long actions are some the stoutest 700 clones made.

I built my norma imp on an igniter, I also happen to have a 478 bolt face for it. Personally 7mm doesn't interest me much, but a 65 version sending 156s around 3k fps does though!
