My uncle has one in the 7mm RM.It's a nice looking firearm. Felt balanced to me, but was not crazy for the 26" tube for hunting. It shot good, but I expected better. My Tikka T3 is more accurate to 200yds. Did not shoot it past that. Would I buy one? Nope. Not for that kind of money. I would save more and get a Cooper or something of that nature. Hope this helps.
