    1 week build - concept to completion

    A few weeks ago I decided I had to have a 7suam. I called Abe to discuss a few options around actions, stocks etc... while I was talking to him i mentioned I was going hunting the following week, his reply was lets get it going for that trip then. We had 7 days to decide what to build, source all the parts, put it together, get a load going for it and courier it back up to the North Island.

    On the friday the decision was made to run a left hand T3 action, Senator stock, 22" Vulcan tube and a VX3 LR CDS on top. I found a left hand 270 WSM at Reloader's in auckland, so I brought that and sent it to Abe.

    Abe did a great job of getting his suppliers to deliver the other parts to him with enough time left to get it together and shooting well. End result it shoots easy half MOA with 162 Amax at 3000fps with a rushed load.

    Nice looking machine. Have made a few T3 saums and they thrive on ADI 2217 with the 162 A-Max.
