Here's mine, seen multiple times before.
7RM, proof, Stockys VG2, Leupold VX6.
She was built last summer and I'd say she had a great first year!

Well mine used to be a browning x-bolt eclipse hunter 7mm rem mag with a 3-9x40 scope. Great all around hunting rifle. I've bounced back and forth between that and my semi custom 6.5 creed built on a savage action. This year I'll be using my new 7mm which I think will turn into my favorite hunting gun. Remington 700 long range 7mm rem mag topped with a 4-16x50 vortex ps-t gen 1. Right now shooting the 180 eld-m at 2958fps which should make for some bad bear and deer medicine! That 180 hits like a hammer at 1000View attachment 141340

Did you finally get that gun figured out? If that's the same one from your thread about the 700LR, I'm pumped that it was from a dud to a 1000 yard rifle!!

Here's mine. I've posted this before. I have about a hundred rounds down the tube since picking it up in January.

Bighorn TL3, bartlien in .308 win, manner elite TA, trigger tech, area 419 muzzle brake. It heavy at about 14lbs, but with the muzzle brake and weight it has no recoil. It's not wearing the weaver anymore. I moved all my scopes over to SWFA HDs. This one now has the 5-20x50HD.

It is the same rifle. I got it back and it's been shooting pretty well. I had it at 1,000 there last week and it was really laying them in there. Sub moa at 1,000.

The 7RM is so badass that it caused your black bear to deflate when you shot it...

My favorite hunting rig has got to be my 300 WSM. It was built by McMillan with a rem 700 action and a 24" shilen barrel and weighs about 7 1/2lbs. I bought it from a guy on this website never fired and I will be lucky to ever own a rifle this accurate again. I have printed groups in the .1s with sierra TMKs and .3s with Bergers. It's been a tack driver out to 1500 yards although I cant seem to find anything to kill that I want to eat outside of 400 yards. (I have since swapped out that dirty ol' Huskemaw for a Leupold Mark 5.)
