They do, but they are tough to find in stock these days. Bartlein does have one in their inventory now but not sure if the length will work for you?? https://www.bartleinbarrels.com/_files/ugd/a03e59_4e7e4b15a634493dbd8c80e8291ce542.pdf
Depending on what you plan to build you can cut off some of the shank end to get a 22" down to pretty close to 21". On both of my 7MM-08 builds per Frank Green he said no problem taking off a bit as long as it wasn't some sort of big magnum. My 24" barrels ended up just over 22" once finished...
I think it should work - a Bart #3 contour is like most other custom barrel makers #4 contour. Not a great picture but here is a B&C stock with a #3 Lilja barrel in it. It fit just fine and I think you could probably remove enough in the fore-end to make a Bart fit. The B&C stocks are OK but...
Those are Proof Research stocks. IMHO they are a heck of a nice stock for a more traditional style stock that is super lightweight and plenty rigid. I wish they still sold them but it looks like you can now only get them on Proof built rifles.
Here you go - let me know if you have any questions. The gap isn't that bad really and I'm a bit picky about that kind of stuff. Its not as tight as say a McMillan inlet but overall it works for me especially since I really like that stock a lot. In the picture it might look like the barrel...
Its the same stock they use on their Elevation rifles and I believe its the same or similar to the one they us on their higher end Glacier rifles, really a nice stock and super light.
First off yes I had a chance to shoot one at the range about a years ago. It was a 6.5CM and only had that day to mess around with it but liked it enough I was ready to buy one especially when Proof announced that they would be building a 7MM-08. Well I waited and waited and they never did...
If a more traditionally stocked rifle would work and one that is lightweight and comes in 300WM the Proof elevation is a darn nice rifle especially for the price when looking at its parts. And since you already have experience with Proof seems a good choice??
My 2021 Oregon mule deer non-typical fork horn:) Not huge by any means but kinda funky for a fork, looks like he may have some caribou genetics with that funky stuff along the bases. Shot was 90 yards with my Shaen Rifles built 7MM-08, its my new favorite & lucky rifle (y)
Go for it! The 2b & 7MM-08 combo makes for a perfect all around hunting rig. Here is the one XTREM mentioned, sadly I sold this one to fund the next 7MM-08 build I did;) This one finished @ 22.5". If you are thinking of building and don't have a smith lined up yet I highly recommend Shaen...
Here is my Oregon buck. I didn't get near enough time to scout this year and this was a 2nd season tag in not a top end unit so I'm pretty happy. Not a huge buck, hard to tell but good height but not much mass. But he was in a good spot to pack out and decided not to run when I spotted him with...
Since you said a lightweight hunting build guessing you would be Ok with a more traditional style stock?? If so take a look at the Proof stocks, they come in around 19 ozs and are a nice stock already inlet for a CF wrapped barrel. I had 2 rifles built using a Defiance Machine Rebel action -...
You might also give Karl Feldkamp @ Kampfeld Customs a call. When it comes to all things flutes Karl is the best and did or still does fluting for several top tier smiths. And just a great guy to deal with (y)
