Carried it for 10 days in the Frank looking for a RAM to come home with me. No luck, so I stopped bye one of my Whitetail haunts and cashed in a 1100 yard shot on a meat buck and a 40 yard shot to fill my extra Doe tag. Just so i didn't come home empty handed. We were out of venison. Not a bad deal for a six pound rifle and a ten power scope. I am still amazed how well a factory model 7 can shoot. Just a bedding job and a decent stock. Oh and a little time at the bench. Jason

I have carried it many places but this is my most memorable hunt, horse supported, with lots of lung burning hikes above 15000 feet.

GuyM Campfire Tracker G Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 5,173 Washington - dry side	The same .25-06 Rem 700 CDL I've used for pretty much all my mule deer hunting over the past eight years or so. A 6x Leupold, Turner sling, and handloaded 115 Noslers or Bergers complete the rifle. It works out real well. Have killed mule deer from 20 yards - 400 yards with it. Very good accuracy, particularly with the 115 Nosler Ballistic Tips. Yeah, that's an ancient Kelty from the 1970's. I can't seem to get rid of it. The Kelty frame and my frame are both well seasoned now. Guy

It has a home made 1" nylon shooting sling and a jungle sling as well. I also have an XS sight system aperture rear that can be mounted on the rear base [Warne steel Weaver style base]. I will likely change the scope out to a VX3 2.5-8 as I have that scope on several of my other rifles and find it a bit better than the 2x7. Prior to getting the 84L I used a M70 FW All-Terrain similarly equipped.
