    Cheers to the following good buggers for: Defiance Rebel Sheep Port action, Hawkins bottom metal, Wyatt box and Manners stock complements of Cam at Alpine Precision. Timney Calvin Elite 2 stage trigger & brake from Greg at Terminator Products. Bartlein barrel & VX5 from a couple of forum members unwanted items All smithing done by Mark at Desert Guns
    I'm not into shiny stuff, so it got squirted in Graphite Black Cerakote.

    I replaced a 7mm08 with another 7mm08. I know the calibre gets a lot of shit here but ive been dumping deer with 140gn ballistic tips for a fair while and NEVER had any issues. Once ive got my load sorted I will have a pointy little 500yd shooter which weighs nothing.

    Absolutely nothing wrong with 7mm08, let the doubters go screw themselves

    Purchased as a package deal along with a hard case, holsters, some 50+ .357 Magnum rounds and 120+ .38 special rounds And other stuff. To my good fortune, the guy is time constrained by his commitments to IPSC and speed steel.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
