I have a Model 7 in a 7mm.08 and love it! It the gun I grab when using a climbing tree stand because of its weight and size. I mounted a Kahles 2-7x36 scope on it and it is perfect for that gun. I have killed several bucks at "10 past dark" before with that rig and the Kahles had no problem picking up enough light to make a clean humane kill.
ReadyRob, would it be possible for you to post a couple of pics of this rig, I was also considering the Kahles for mine and was curious how it would look - Thanks, Uncle Soapy.
