Finally had time to get the Talkeetna setup - at least for now. Went with a straight 6x Leupie and my reliable Talley QD mounts.
It came finished very well in the action area. Nice movement to the magazine so no binding to worry about.
The action area was we'll finished with a factory trigger at 3.5#'s so that needs no tweaking.
Here it is all setup. It was 7# 9oz. out of the box. Set up this way its 8# 9 oz..
The muzzle diameter is .695" with a maximum magazine OAL of 3.640".
A guy could do quite a bit of "constructive work" with this pair. Filling a freezer and a game room would be quite easy. The .308 Montana weighs in as it sits at 6# 0oz..
