If you ever wanted to buy just one rifle and be done with it, that'd probably be the one.

Thinking it would finish it nicely with a unidirectional muzzle brake cool

Not a bad looking rifle. That ought to take care of business for you!

Yeah it is rather large isn't it, its a Falcon Optics Menace 4-14x44mm FFP, nice and solid tho, good optics for the price to IMO. It is sitting a little high tho at the mo for my liking so might get some lower rings for it. Here is a review on it.... Sniper central- Falcon menace

At first glance I wasnt too keen i have to admit, but once i picked it up and had a play it was great! balances the rifle very well and comes up to my shoulder nicely. The one thing i did do straight away was put a limb saver recoil pad on it just to give it a little extra length. It would be great if a few after market stocks did come out in the future for th A7, just to give people some more options. The best thing to do is just go have a play with one grin

If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer or elk but how he hunted it.

Custom redneck palm swell(grip tape)....What Johnny said! (laughin')
The stock is fine and doesn't bother me one bit. I did bed mine though.
A7's are pretty good rifles, especially for the price. $85 for a spare magazine is a little harsh, other than that awesome truck gun.....grin
