Nothing wrong it shoots well but I have always liked the look and feel of the carbon light.

Well, that was fun to watch wasn't it ?
I expecxt te Tikka would handle it too, but I wonder how a blouser or SMLE would function after being jammed full of mud.
Of course, its easy to imagine real life mishaps much more testing than that: a fall on river boulders, drop down an orongorongo waterfall, liquid fuel stove leak etc. It would have been interesting to see a whole of system test, say retaining zero with a simple 6x Schmidt in optilock rings or after a good freeze thaw cycle, wipedown with WD40 and a bit of rattling around in the tray of a quad with steel gong targets.
Finally got her all together.
Now to test some of @7mmsaum load suggestions

Nice.
I’ve got 7mm Carbon light. But find myself carrying my pimped up tikka below. Carbon light is sooo heavy[emoji6]

@Jit details on the Tikka please :) that is very light.
My plastic washer infested Blaser is 3.1 Kgs with the loopy bush scope on it and 3.3 with the heavier Zeiss scope.
