[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 1203513, member: 28741"] Ah yes, the 139s in 7RM...I've been getting more into the 7 in the last year with the 139 Hdys and Barnes now ever since I learned how to shoot the **** thing. :rolleyes: The Barnes 120 & 140 TTSXs made me realize how accurate my Savage 7RM can be.
