About LinkBacksThat does it... A stock for a Tikka for me please @stug.Originally Posted by stug
Yep got one. A much modified 7 SAUM. I figured I'd see how light I could get it. Fluted everything, lightweight firing pin, carbon fibre stock of course. Got the bare rifle weight down to 5lb 3 oz. With rings and scope it is 6lb 10oz. I can only get the 162 a-max to 2880, but have settled on 65gr 2217 for 2818 fps.
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
But those little 7's are a great rifle.
