looks like david morris has the extended arm photo technique down pretty good......

As to the gun. Might be great. All I can say that in this day and time advertising 1 inch 3 shot goups is a waste of breath. I haven't seen a factory rifle that wouldn't do that in a LONG time.

Both my early A7's advertised 5 shot groups and both do with ease.

Who's David Morris?

Bigs big, doesnt matter how you hold em. I can tell the difference between a mediocre buck thats made to look big and a big deer that looks big. Are you implying that this buck isnt a big deer?

Also, I can tell you guys that David is more than just a farmer, he is a great hunter and an absolute killer. He made a great shot on the buck he killed with us. Its spot and stalk whitetail hunting in very open country. There are no tree stand or tower blinds. When your spot and stalk hunting whitetails in open country you get a really good feel for guys that know what they're doing and guys that dont.

I'm not trying to get into a debate about David Morris, just pointing out that the person pimping the gun is most likely not him. If you dont like the gun, dont buy it. If you dont like David Morris, dont watch his show.

I'm totally speculating and adding in some of my own feelings here, but when negative comments are made about the "celebrity" hunters, I think it may be cuz I think a lot of em on the boob tube nowadays come off as that it is easy or no big thing about knocking down a B&C animal, they do it all the time, etc and I think it turns a lot of hunters off. Just sayin.

Its horn porn man,...Its not about hunting its about selling the product. What ever it takes...dave morris, jeff foxworthy, hank parker, the bone collector dip [bleep]...Geeze give me a break!
...Its big money hunts (and I use that word loosley) taken on selling lies and manipulated realitys that are fabicated in the editing program of a computer to SELL PRODUCTS to make more money...Its all about money and how to get more of it.....

But hey, I don't have a problem with it. Lets just be honest and call it what it is... Its no differant than prostitution to me, which I don't have a problem with that either...just don't try to sell me on the fact that its LOVE just because your the one making money off of it!!!.....

huntsonora: I'm inclined to side w/you. I've never met David or Jeff and I know there is a LOT of MARKETING involved.

IMO only, I think jealousy is involved in some negativism. I seriously think MANY would manage their land and forage like DM if they had the $ & opportunity.

Every deer lease I know uses food plots to some degree or other. We don't have the acreage or BIG equipment to compete on David's scale.

It SOUNDS like the A7 Tech. is a very good rifle BUT I am NOT paying $1200 or so for a deer rifle. There are several great rifles available for 1/2-2/3 the price.

I would go up against David and ESPECIALLY Jeff F. after deer or elk, with my Win 70 Winlite 300 WM and know the S Mags are NOT better than the original. I paid $370. not bragging, I found a bargain.

My Tikka T 3 Lite SS 270 Win (aka Sako) is a SUPERB rifle RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. I paid LESS than 1/2 the price of the A 7 Tech.
It's light, well balanced, GREAT TRIGGER, and more accurate than needed for deer-elk.

What is wrong with being enthused or excited about hunting or your equipment? ? IF we could hunt in the places DM or Jeff F does WE WOULD.

Ain't nothin wrong with enthusiasim,....but all we have to do is buy the tecamote food plot mix or the hank parker comere deer in a bag , or the sako a7 tecamote gun ,best value in a deer rifle hands down period , and we too can kill bucks just like they do...It must work because they do it week after week on tv......

tndrbstr, marketing, marketing, capitalism. I'm not opposed to either. I've proven to myself I don't have to have an A 7 to kill game.

It's NOT the gun or caliber, it's the opportunity to hunt WHERE the monsters are.

Dude, you just apologized to John Burns and now you're talkin out of your a$$ again...178" is big anywhere especially FREE RANGE CO!!! Just sayin....

[bleep]'A, I think your right. I'm gonna sell my custom rifles tomorrow and buy all Sako A7's.

David Morris killed a lot of big deer a long time before he started with the Tecomate thing....he' been an avid hunter of big whitetails for many years.

Hell no, its a big deer. Don't really care who is pimping the gun, but with what, one post, thats pretty much pimping outright.

As to big.. like I said its big, WTF would you resort to holding it at arms length then too....

I think I'll just carry my Savage 99. I don't dig new rifles, or bolt guns for that matter. Since I hunt in the swamps of the southeast, I don't need to shoot a half mile either. Is it me or is every new gun on the market made outta plastic and stainless, any of yall remember the days of blued steel and walnut?

billy336, Yeah, I and we remember. I remember coming in from a day or week of hunting and the skin rubbed off my knuckles from those HEAVY guns stretching & straining my arms.

Now don't get me wrong. I have walnut & blue steel and appreciate not only the look but they also perform. What ruined me was a Ruger Ultra Light BACK in the 80s. That LIGHT rifle sent me into a warp that I can't and DON'T WANT to get out of.

The lighter your rifle, the longer and better you can hunt because you're not physically or mentally exhausted. The less physically taxed we are, the SHARPER we are in thot & shooting.

Also S S is more resistant to the elements and requires less maintenance.

That's how I see it anyway.

Never seen a Tecomate version, but those A7's are sweet. I don't dare for short mags personally, so I wouldn't buy one. The plain old A7 is a killer.

I don't work for Beretta
I don't work for Tecomate
I don't know D Morris
That's a huge whitey no matter how he's being held
I don't stare at my rifles and think how pretty they are, they are only tools
Pray for rain

I agree that somebody came on here and is pimping the gun, I doubt very seriously its David Morris.

As for the pictures, why do you care how its being held? Why wouldnt we take good pictures? Its a big ass deer with great mass and character. We took the pictures with the deer being held at the best angles to show what he is. Even with the pictures that were taken, it doesnt do the buck justice.

I'll tell you what, next year, when we again knock down some giants I will go out of my way to take a few [bleep] pictures just for you

huntsonora.....BIG 10/4 ! !

I hear green eyed monsters, how bout you?

This WAS a gun I was considering buying. Not now, this kind of advertising pisses me off.
