Is even more better when it has a red dot in the center. I'm enjoying this setup, though I do need to yank the front sight/hood again.

Other than NO ONE making bullets for the damn thing, it should be just about the shizzle for TN deer hunting.
I did manage to find about 150 or so 120g FP Noslers and a like amount of 139gr Hornady. Also picked up a case of ammo and I already had a few boxes of ammo, so I should be fairly well set.

That looks to be super. Will it work on a Marlin 336?

Yea, would be sweat if Hornady offered a 7mm 130 grain FTX. It appears if it doesn't pertain to an AR-15 or end with a Creedmoor your out of luck as to any new products

Does Burris make the base? Does it use the receiver sight screw holes?
Leave the gun, take the canolis.

Would you please share where you got the leather? That is some very attractive work.

I am considering the same set up on my Browning 71. Doug Turnbull makes a base.

Used this for a while on my Guide gun. It is a Fastfire II, and there were a couple of features that I really didn't like, but the Fastfire III has addressed those, so I may reconsider. Acquiring a moving target with a dot sight is FAST.

It's a FF3, I don't remember what dot comes with it, I think it's 3MOA I just put a 3 MOA FF3 on my Guide gun today, I'll get around to zeroing it this weekend. I had a FF2 on it and really liked the concept, but the FF2 had a couple of quirks that I didn't like. Those being using a screwdriver with a wheel to zero it, and having to take the sight off of the base to replace the battery. I sold it to a guy who put it on his 336 with the intention of replacing it with the FF3. I have a Leupold FX-II 2.5X20 UL in QR mounts, so this time I used an EGW rail and the FF3 has the picatinny mount, so one of the things I'll be looking at is repeatability if dismounted/remounted. This rifle is a short range affair, so extreme precision won't be needed. The scope does goes back to zero, and I suspect that the dot will if I mind the torque I tighten to. I use this rifle a lot in the thick woods where sometimes not a lot of time is available to get the sight on the target. It's hard to beat a dot for that. Here is the rifle with the FF2 on it. The EGW rail/FF3 combo is not as clean looking and puts the sight a little higher, but allows more latitude in sight systems. I also have a Williams FP, so if I take the rail off I can use that. You can say I've been all over the place with sights on this rifle.....
