    Finally got one of these cute little model 7s everyone raves about.

    7mm08. 18" barrel. Bought off a forum member.

    Time to add some sling swivel studs, buy a suppressor, remove the cheek rest and flute the bolt. Then load development for 160gr TMKs

    Not a crudmore case but the 378 cases from 223's might do !! Looks nice with no finger marks on it!

    Making it lighter is a good idea as I know how much you carry it around!

    Goes pretty well huh? I'm really looking forward to its replacement being finished. Should be a good all round rig I'm thinking

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    I crack up at the fact that these rigs are seen as the cheap option!

    "Cheaper" its actually a bloody beauty i wont gain anymore performance nor accuracy out of a custom same barrel and chambering or 7 saum just to get the length down another couple inchs iv had many great rifles and sold em its a bad habbit of mine but its allowed me to try different cals to narrow down what best suits me so far so good with the short action magnum

    I have waited 8 long lockdown weeks for this bad boy, still waiting on some custom leather work to complete it but had to post it up.
    My first foray into the world of lever guns.
    16.5" stainless 336 in 30-30 with a nikko diamond 1-4×24 #4 reticle with red dot mounted in contessa alloy rings.
    Big massive props to @Tikka7mm08 and @MSL for getting it to me.
    Can't wait to put some rounds through it.

    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

    Had a spare set of tikka rings and scope, so here it is good to go
