Thread: 7-08 rem & 162gr Amax?

I use them at mag length in a 19" t3 with 2208 and they stabilise fine

Second TF tube I've heard of lately that won't shoot. Mate had a .223 tube that shot like poo with like 6 different loads. My.243 one is ok though.

Trueflite seems to be developing a bad rep from what I have heard. Not just for making barrels that won't shoot but also for shit support when there is a possible problem.
Has put me off using them anymore.

Has TF changed ownership recently?

I don't believe so.

I will never buy another Trueflite barrel even though I had one in 6.5 that was ridiculously accurate.

That makes two of us. To add insult to injury I recently bought a CZ 223 2nd hand that is a tack driver. All for a grand. Makes the cost of the 7 08 barrel and reloading, and sending it around NZ even more sour. Due to running short of lucre and having the shits with it all I will shelve the 7 08 until cash is freed up to re barrel it (with a different breed). I will cut the CZ to 17 inches and use the 7 08 suppressor on it and that will be my bush gun.

Tuiman is jigging me up a 7SAUM on a Tikka action with a suppressor. Cheers for all you help Tuiman on this topic.

I was gunna suggest you send it to the Moronge. Good choice in the Saum.

If i was to rebarrel I'd probably get a name brand blank from Brownells.

Is that possible?
Vulcan appear to be showing a lot of promise and some yank tubes can be bought locally for good prices.
