I had a rebarreled Mod 7 briefly, then had to sell it. I was looking at several .243s, for coyotes, puttering around, "maybe" a deer, but couldn't get excited about any I saw. I did see a Tikka T3X Superlight in 6.5 Creedmoor for a tad over $750. Still a bit too rich for my blood. I cam back by there today and they had it marked down a $100, so put it on layaway! ha I like the fact this Tikka has a 24" barrel. This will make my 2nd tikka; first one was about 16yrs ago off a used gun rack in .222 Remington. I played with it some, but the wind here in the Utah Desert eat me up with it. I think I can contend a bit better with the wind now...:)
