From what I could find tc only made a 12 inch 7mm08 for a couple of years, did they have problems with them? Or was it not a big seller for them.
If any readers have one how do you like it?

They did, and do, make 15 inch barrels. Stainless, blue, and I think even fluted prohunter versions. Too good a caliber to not have.

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!

Yes, I know they make the 15", but I was wondering about the 12" version they first made, was it not a big seller for them.

If i had a guess, I would say excessive muzzle blast. 15" is much better for high power rifle calibers.
