Thanks. I got them from some dick head.
Tanner You told me it was a gay dickhead. Used to be pink too 
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

When the shot comes in sheep hunting heavier rifles sure steady down much nicer than a pistol wt. rifle.. My sheep rifle weighted 10.5#..
I hear ya....just jerking his chain a bit.

tanner, thats a nice setup. in fact, id like to have the exact same thing, except make mine a 22" .243. an 8 lb all-up 7 mag would beat me up pretty good

The recoil isn't bad in an 8lb 7 Rem. I could spot hits easily enough with my last one from 500 and out.

A ladder test or two wears me out. Even a 7mm Mag Sendero isn't pleasant to me for long strings. My Savage "sendero" I'm putting together will get a Fat Bastard on the end of the McGowen. I'm a recoil puss.

Same here.
I find somewhere around 17 ft/lbs. of recoil is my limit for what I consider "really good" shooting. Above that and I have to use a really heavy hold, which affects my shooting, and I don't shoot the gun as much, which affects my performance.
But if a guy can handle it, more power to him.

Back to where I started.....grin 700 SS ADL 7 Rem Mag, Ti takeoff, Talleys, 6x42 w/ M1 and LRD reticle. Gonna' try hashing out some 168 VLDs when time permits. Not too sure about weight, my guess is 8-8 1/4 as it sits. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m545/Tanner_Coulter/null_zps4f806d4b.jpg) Thought you were doing a 280AI?

![[Linked Image]](http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm66/southwind_hunter/lope13wyo065_zps16ea25f9.jpg) Lightweight for me, I didn't put in real effort to make ultra-light but just lighter. Ti Alaskan II stock, Rem 700 7 MM rem mag, graphite black cerakote, Kampfield fluted bolt with campfire knob. Talley rings and bases (not lt wt) Vortex Viper LR 4x16x50.

Nice! What does she weigh Southwind? Pipe specs please. At a glance,I'd say that is exactly what I want to have built this winter in 7 Remmy mag.

Tanner,

I've got a 7 RM coming soon, going to try the 150 BT first... I have a feeling yours might be a little more pimped out than this one...grin. I'll be looking for your results. Interested to see how the 6x42 does on this rifle-I've never used one. I think it'll be plenty for 6-700....

Guess I better add my newest GAP Non Typical in 260. It worked great on my Dall sheep hunt this year. Love this rifle! ![[Linked Image]](http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l463/Huntr7X57/image_zps4845200c.jpg) [/URL]

Huntr,
I'll call dibs since my oldest son is a lefty. Then we can just load one bullet for both rifles!

This guy I know left a Montana 243AI at my house with a 6x42 on top. I think the throat is shot and the M1 spins on its own now.... I've seen the barrel match the stock color.....
