I have a Vortex Viper PST 5-25X50 FFP with the EBR-7C MOA reticle. It is brand new in the box and only taken out for pictures. $700 shipped tyd, add 3% for pp g&s.
I'm getting a Rim-X action and trying to decide between a Shilen or Bartlein barrel. I have Bartlein barrels on some of my other rifles, but I've never used a Shilen.
I remember when my grandfather took me shooting. He will always remember this. I know I enjoy shooting with my kids, probably more than they do with their old man.
I had this same debate for my son, but ended up going with the 7mm-08. I plan on using it occasionally and under normal conditions ammo is easily found.
Welcome! I had the same one, but had a custom one built so I traded it in. I have a Savage 0 moa picatinny rail and regular size bolt handle if your interested. I didn’t like the tactical one.
I have a picatinny rail from my savage 6.5 CM I’ll sell you for $35 including shipping. I traded it in not too long ago due to having a custom 6.5 CM built. Let me know if you’re interested.
I too was getting ready to build another rifle in 7mm and came across this thread. I was going to build a 7-08 so my boys could use it too, then started considering the 7 saum and found this thread. I just received my 26" Bartlein barrel with 1-9 twist and I have everything except the action...
If your wanting an auto loader, take a look at the Franchi Affinity 3 or Affinity 3.5. They are made by Benelli, even have Benelli engraved on some of the parts and uses their recoil system.
I use the crosstac precision mat. I like it because it has a raised lip (like a doll rod) on the front of the mat which is good for the bipod legs to rest against.
