I am looking to build a 7 SAUM for hunting use. Target species is deer and black bear, and this rifle will be humped a good ways in sometimes thick brush. I will be using a short action receiver.
I'm wondering how short of a barrel I can go with and still make the caliber worthwhile? I'd like a 22" barrel and if I have to go to 24", I may look at a 7mm-08 instead.
Any thoughts?
