    Yes you can do it as simply as that, but you will be limited to 180gr bullets as a max. Also if you want something that's capable of shooting little group's at long range i'd suggest using an after market match barrel on it.

    I run an 8 twist bartlein on my 28N. It shoots the 195gr Bergers super well.

    Pretty cool cartridge especially when shooting the likes of a 180 eldm or 195gr Bergers.

    I had been following Ryan Pierce's custom 28 Nosler builds via FB before i had mine built.

    Them seem to be an inherently accurate cartridge.

    So if I got a rem 700 in 7mm rem mag that would work in regards to action size etc? Yeah I think I would like a carbon barrel with a t2 break.

    Yep all the LA 700s are the same length.

    If you want to run 195s seated out in the neck you'll need to put a Wyatt extended mag box in it.

    I used a custom Stiller Predator action (700 clone) which was already inletted for the Wyatt box.

    I run a T2, it works awesome!
