    I have a model 7 in 308, 16 inches with a DPT, and like others in this thread I think it is the perfect bush gun.
    Someone has said on here that a bush gun should be carried at all times, and I agree.
    On this point, think about what sits nicely being held in one hand. Model 7 or similar with a floor plate mag balances perfectly in hand.

    The little pointy model 7 is just brilliant. Mine is topped with a Leupold vx5 2-10x42. They dont make them anymore, but the ability to also stretch out with a turret system that compensates for the lost velocity by cutting the barrel makes it a very versatile rig.
    Shearer, kukuwai and Gkp like this.
