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!

Agree with all above - simply beautiful!

Could I be so bold to ask about what the stock cost to have done ? I have my dad's pre-64 .270 Featherweight and the original stock that he tried to refinish many years ago but failed at it.I'd consider having the same done as your as long as I didn't have to take out a secong mortgage.

Wow is right! Quite a beauty. Now, I'd have a hard time taking it on a hunting trip.

Your rifle belongs on the front cover of the Leopold catalog.

I think even Mr. O'connor would have been happy to own something like that. A straight 4x (old style) Leupy would be just right too. A classic rig all around. Well done!

That is some high class porn. Good gracious, what a beautiful piece. Very artistic.

Now THAT is what I'm TALKIN 'bout!
Exceptionally well done. A terrific rifle in every respect, I would not change one thing about it. Now, go kill some stuff with it!
