    Sometimes it’s the small rifles that charm. I have a few Brnos and was scoping my model 5 yesterday. Forgot how nice these fit and feel. Nice stick of tiger stripe timber to boot.
    The other photo is my Remington 541S. Just put a period Micro trac engraved Weaver scope on it with engraved Weaver rings. Matches nicely the engraving on the rifle itself.

    Making it lighter is a good idea as I know how much you carry it around!

    Not a crudmore case but the 378 cases from 223's might do !! Looks nice with no finger marks on it!

    Finally got one of these cute little model 7s everyone raves about.

    7mm08. 18" barrel. Bought off a forum member.

    Time to add some sling swivel studs, buy a suppressor, remove the cheek rest and flute the bolt. Then load development for 160gr TMKs

    Goes pretty well huh? I'm really looking forward to its replacement being finished. Should be a good all round rig I'm thinking

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    I crack up at the fact that these rigs are seen as the cheap option!

    "Cheaper" its actually a bloody beauty i wont gain anymore performance nor accuracy out of a custom same barrel and chambering or 7 saum just to get the length down another couple inchs iv had many great rifles and sold em its a bad habbit of mine but its allowed me to try different cals to narrow down what best suits me so far so good with the short action magnum
