Yep but you need a magnum bolt face, at least a 2.970" internal length magazine & not a Tikka barrel

Yes, I must. We have a good load for it. And actually, I have a featherweight Mod 7 glass stock but you would have to have it first and bed it. I like to 7mmsaum/300saum and 270wsm because I think...

Have 4 of the Burris Signature Series 3-10 x 40, all brought second hand between $170-$420. Really suit my old eyes with their excellent focusing plus very clear. There seem to be underrated in NZ.

Three for three with the 270wsm last night @ 250yds. One lung shot ran 80 yards - very good blood trail. The other 2 dead on the spot. LRX= big holes. The old .270 would have done exactly the same.

I like like letting a lot of light in. .30 cal makes big holes. Both 7mm & .30 SAUM are fabulously efficient rounds.

Wife is in the UK for a few weeks so I had a free pass. So it was off to the Kawekas chasing Sika for 2 days and 3 nights. I had a great spell of weather save for a brief evening thunder storm...
