jwall, nothing wrong with natural light in my book. Think I'll pose that one on a post and get a pic or three.  Yeah the Sun wasn't shining at 9 pm.  I'm tempted to take 1-2 outside during sunlight. Seriously it is RISKY. I've been hit twice @ motorcycles, but I got them back.

Great thread! Here's a Sako AV Classic in 270 Win. That rifle looks TOO GOOD to ding up hunting. I like, I like. Thanks, Jwall. I bought 3 rifles in the past two weeks and may have to start thinning the herd. This one is under consideration, although it's mint, has great fiddleback and was accurized at Hill Country Rifles (target showing .4" spread with 130 gr. TSX). Eric

Do you know how much the Gun/Scope weighs sans the bipod?

Jwall - I sold the bipod recently so it's trimmed up. I don't have a postal scale but it's lighter than my pre-64 30/06 and has a 23" bbl. I'd say the gun is close to 8, less the scope (Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 #4 reticle). It's has good balance.

Eric - I might be interested IF you're considering parting w/it.
My only FETISH is LIGHT. If it's -8lb w/o scope might be too heavy. Just personal preference.
I'm in no rush but if you can weigh it in the future, we can talk.
Regarless it looks GREAT.

Thanks, Jwall. I just ordered a scale as I'm curious as well. I do like the fiddleback. This one is tight and consistent all the way through the forearm.

This is a BUMP, but it's also one FINE LOOKING RIFLE. Finally KNOW where I can photo MINE on a POST. Will get it done ASAP. Now don't y'all buy this gun before I can sell it to wife.

Poobah, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but most folks use a rest that assists in keeping the rifle upright, not horizontal. That sorta looks like a Mongangsta rest. Nice rifle though. Bet it can reach the cloud shadows...
Keep searchin' for that fencepost. I saw one up near Great Falls a few years back, and another just south of Polson.
I am..........disturbed.
