Yep, those look good Brett. I like the idea of the 22" barrel better but it will come down to him ultimately. I just don't see the need for a 24" barrel on a 7mm-08 and a shorter barrel will be easier for the little guy to tote around BUT you a lot canhappen in 2 or 3 years! Plus, I'm sure both brands will be marketing something NEW by that time, ha ha.
