I'm begining to relize that building a 7mm stw at a reasonable price is not realistic. I built a 35 whelen for just over 500$ (Savage 111 .270 close out special at Dicks 370 out the door, Adams Bennet close out special whelen barrel 108$ (Midway)shipped, go no-go guages 40$). Borrowed a barrel wrench from a friend and I have a whelen for 518$. I thought if I shopped around I could build a 7mm stw for around the same price but I guess not. A 7mm rem mag or wsm are the better option. Thanks for the imput guys.
