Great pick there. You will be happy with it for a long time I am sure. I am also quite sure you will like the performance, both accuracy and especially terminal performance, with the TSX's. I will be trying out the new Tipped TSX's this year. Should be real winners. Do report back. TTURBO, WELCOME to 24hr Campfire! To what do we credit your unique handle or cybername? Doest thou have a twin Turbo Porsche??

TTURBO, WELCOME to 24hr Campfire! To what do we credit your unique handle or cybername? Doest thou have a twin Turbo Porsche?? [/quote] Hey thanks for the welcome I have been a lurker for awhile but gots a few questions/info and must join to post. As for the name I was/am a snowmobile freak and well I gots a little turbo addiction that I am trying to get away from with the cost of fuel and stuff the hobby is getting a little rich for me. Just sold my 200+hp sled, to focus more on hunting, fishing, work and to probably save my life!! By the way love porsches

wow, lots of input. Well I went with the Hawkeye. I misquoted the price on the browning. I said 600 and it was 700. That took that out of the equation real quick. I just didn't want to spend $800 for the M7. I got the ruger for 650 and it comes with rings so that will save me about 40bucks too.
I did run a box of core locs through it this afternoon and it was an 1 1/2" at 100. Not too bad for the first box. I'm going to try the Fusions and Tripple Shock too. I love shooting this round, I could do it all day and not flinch once.
Actually you saved more like 80$ don't forget the bases. I think that system is the best on the market. You made a great choice... did you get wood or synthetic?

A brand new X bolt 7mm rem mag 26" will be in my collection as soon as browning digs its head out of their ass and finally make them available in Canada. All this waiting makes me open minded about others, but we'll see Just curious, what is it about the X-bolt that you like so much? I have heard nothing about them yet. Although I held one at the Sportsman's Wharehouse and it shouldered very nicely I was surprised.....very different from the A-Bolts.....seemed more balanced.

Ruger then Remington. As much as I want to like the Browning, it's a bit to whiz-bang for me, unloading buttons, euro-stock.
Speaking of Ruger, it seems the difference between the Hawkeye and the M-77 is a matter of reworked trigger, stock and floorplate. Am I missing anything? I see in my catalog that the M-77 can be had in a stainless sporter configuration with a laminated wood stock, the Hawkeye in stainless has a injection plastic stock. This would seem to favor the M-77 in terms of glassbedding. The Hawkeye also comes in a Hogue stock,but only in 3006 and 270.It's aluminum pillar bedded with a floated barrel for 650$ at BassPro.

The Ruger RL77 has 2" more barrel than the M7, both handle more like a 22. Have RL22 in 308 which shoots great and it is a great gun to carry.
Dialing in a used M7 in 243 now for the daughter-in-law. She shot it yesterday and loves it.
Only Brownings I owned were European made.
