It's a Savage BVSS in 7mm Rem. Mag. A picture of it ready to take to the range for load development (breakin was done on the clay pile a few hundred yards behind the house):
It weighs 13.0 lbs as shown. Recoil is not an issue at all. Very comfortable to shoot.
Until I can get some 168g Hunting VLD bullets I'm going to go ahead and work up loads for both the 150g NBT and the 160g Accubond. I have some Retumbo and some RL25 to try.
The rain should be outta here by Tuesday so I'll take it to the range Wednesday. I can hardly wait till I can take it hunting.
I found the rifle browsing GunBroker looking for a cheap 7mm Mag to be a donor action for building a heavy 7 rifle. This one is essentially the factory version of what I was planning to build for significantly less than the cost of the action and the stock for a custom build.
Sometimes I get lucky ...
