    Nice rig.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Went halves with the old man for the bare rifle. I then added a few little goodies I had sitting around and ended up with this.





    Marlin X7 .270 22"
    Factory base + Burris Sig Zee Rings
    Weaver Super Slam 3-15x42
    HRE Gen II Suppressor

    Off to sight it in shortly and then take it for a walk tonight or tomorrow evening all going to plan.

    Doesn't seem to like 130gr Remington Corelokts too much. Groups were areound 1 1/2" at 100 yards. A little bit different to shooting the T3 that's for sure.

    Handloads are on the way though!

    1 1/2" is still a kill shot.

    I like it so far, but I am not that sure how much better a really nice rifle would shoot? Let's call it a lack of experience. This was my first group once I sighted it in, and when I pointed it at a goat weekend just gone it fell over so I assume it's alright!Name: target1.jpg Views: 1075 Size: 112.0 KB
