That's a Compact, right?

Yeah, its a compact It was inletted originally for a Featherweight 30-06......

But saying that. As time rolls on....I seem to be lusting walnut over synthetic........Walnut with stainless is my compromise atm LOL
Mmmmmmm Featherweight........

Hell yes. Just something about the walnut/ss that I like too....The ss/walnut fwt's are very nice....I don't think you are a ruger fan but I dolled my 308 up a bit by swapping the stock for a nice walnut one. Mucho better:

Thanks Dan, and yes it was inletted a little tight but it came out alright (had to remove some barrel channel material to get it to fit)..... .....KDK yes that is a hunters edge (compact). Hope I'm saying that right....

I bought a EW in .300wsm. First groups were around 3/4-1" groups. Nice rifle in my book. Well made, good stock and trigger nice too look at and they shoot......what's not to like? Some say the old trigger was better and more reliable......I like this gun enough to buy another!

I think I need to get one for my WSM .300....

I'd like one of those EW's in 7 WSM.

Same here, but have yet to see one or even hear of someone that's seen one. They are back on the website, but I wonder if any have actually been made. If they do make them, I'll probably get one.

I bought a Kimber Montana 270 WSM last year with the intentions of rebarreling to 7 WSM. Ended up buying a new EW 7 WSM because they were a special run and started leaking out to the dealers last August. Love this rifle. First 3-shot groups with 160-grain Accubonds were under an inch. I'm going to see if this rifle shoots 140-grain TTSX bullets that I use in my other 7 WSM. The B&C stock ain't bad at at, though no compact EDGE that my other one sits in. Been contemplating on letting my Montana go now and forgetting that rebarrel route.

Eye candy.

Yeah, I dig Ruger HE's. Had a beaut 338WM SS when they first come out....Out of the box, it fed, shot & slayed!

My son posing with the Ruger a few years back.

It was one of a select few rifles that I pulled Deer nearly every trip with.........Probably should not of sold it

Edit: found out by myself

Melvin is that a sambar? They are pretty big!

Yes it is. This pic is a better example of body size.

Not as tall as Elk but they are thick in the body!

Handsome animal....they look about...oohh....180 gr 30/06 sized!

I really like my 7mm-08. I had Hill Cointry Rifles do an "accurize" job on it. It Shot .347 (3 shot group)with my handloads in thier underground tunnel.

I have my eye on a Cooper, might be interested in selling

Thanks Bob.
Those were the handy work of the Mighty 338 Winchester Magnum with 210gr Barnes TTSX & TSX's.
There was something special about the 338WM with 210's!......... Now to test my new 325Wizzum & 220gr PP's
