"Gander had their exclusive SS/Syn (B&C Medalist) "Mountain Guide" rifles in short action chamberings 7-08."

I just picked one of these up from the classifieds on here.


Back in about '88-'89 I bought a new Mnt rifle in 7mm-08. It was the first gun I bought myself and I loved it. One day after coming home from hunting in a blizzard, I set the gun up on the couch to thaw-out and I went to take a shower. By the time I got out, my 6 month old golden retriever had shredded the stock! I ended up trading it off and have missed it since.
I'd love to have another one.

IMO the only way to improve on these would be to have just a little more meat in the barrel contour. They are a little too muzzle light to me.
