Thought I would share this little gem. .416 Rem. built on a pre-war Model 70 by Tom Burgess with integral pop up front sight, pop up peep and Tom's QD rings and bases. Rifle was stocked by Jay Frasier.

Love it.
My sight isn't great and I'd much rather have a peep/ghost ring than any quarter rib v set up. Looks super clean as well.
What contour? Length? Weight.

The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

That'll do!
Will you hunt it?
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!
