    I found it doesn't like a bipod. Shot lousy groups with the bipod, took it off and shot a 0.6MOA group. Longest shot so far is 590yds.

    Why do I like it? It is a joy to carry!! Much nicer than my 10lb 7RUM.
    Would I sell it? Tried to but no one wanted it, now it is my only longrange rifle so in the gun cabinet it stays.





    First animal with it 450yds




    Longest deer 590yds
    That does it... A stock for a Tikka for me please @stug.
    But those little 7's are a great rifle.
