    Remington Model 7 260 Rem, bedded, 2lb trigger, gunworks suppressor, fluted bolt, currently sporting my Bushnell 6500 Elite tactical 6-24x50, but normally has a Zeiss 3-9x42 on it.



    When I first got it I threw a weaver v9 on it I had lying around and went and shot a group with the factory ammunition it came with and it did this, so I knew she was going to be a shooter...



    Then I got into handloading, and everyone told me the Model 7 twist (1 in 9) wouldn't stabilise anything over 130gr, so being a stubborn bastard I started playing with 139gr Lapua Scenar's, and now it does this....



    Great little caliber!

    Yep, they're a very good projectile but pretty useless on game. Like their 123gr smaller brother, they pencil through stuff most of the time
