    Nah. I'm meant to be careful for a few weeks. The recoil might upset things a bit.
    But I'm really keen to get at it.

    Small deer for a big calibre Bruce, you have shot deer 3 times that size with your .223 how does it feel to carry, shoot etc will it be the new "go to rifle" ?

    Bit heavy but I have a Stug carbon stock coming. Its nice to carry and shoot. The Mod 7 is a nice rifle. 300saum certainly whacks them over. But I still prefer the lighter calibers.

    Scope was nice.

    Keep the mod 7 223 AND get one in 7Saum

    I have mod 7's in 223, 260, 708 and 7Saum, and got dad an older original one in 243.

    I doubt I'll ever part with the 7Saum

    My new love child, no scope or proper mounts as yet, should of taken a pick with all the clear laquer peeling off before I gave it a quick re oil.
    Pleased with how it came up. just waiting on dies and then start a new recipe.
