I’ve changed my load too. Was using 72gns of 2217 which was over max. Have gone to 73gns of 2225 and getting very good results with the 162 gn amax. Getting 3040 FPS at the muzzle and have shortened up the oal.


3 shots @ 400yds

The Carbonlites poor brother.
T3 7mmRM with VX5 and Southfort stock. 3.398KG (no brake though)

Nice.
I’ve got 7mm Carbon light. But find myself carrying my pimped up tikka below. Carbon light is sooo heavy

@Jit details on the Tikka please that is very light.

Tikka T3x. Plastic trigger guard and magazine. Kiwi composite stock. Hardy 18in Carbon barrel. Talley rings. VX5HD.
7mmRM, 160 TMKs over 2213sc = 2860fps.
Makes everything else feel heavy.

Now I’ve sold the Carbon “not so light” Next project is Defiance Rebel sheep
Port, proof carbon barrel, Trigger tech, south fort stock. Hawkins rings and bottom metal, in 7mm Blaser Mag.

Hoping for 3000 with eldm 180s

How light do u reckon the Defiance Rebel Sheep rig with the carbon barrel and stock?

It's strange cos the setup uv described is exactly what I'm planning on building early next year.

My plastic washer infested Blaser is 3.1 Kgs with the loopy bush scope on it and 3.3 with the heavier Zeiss scope.

Lol yeah. But to be honest I still can't find these mythical plastic washers

24" Bartlein, carbon wrapped in 260 Ackley.

Having spent late winter getting the rifle sorted and shooting it was time to put theory to practice. Ive owned a lot of rifles over the years including some high end gear. Hands down this is the BEST hunting rifle Ive owned. Its extremely light. Its pin point accurate . WIth the factory radial brake its loud but just a baby to shoot. All deer were able to be spotted through the scope ranging from 285 to 520 yds , Confirming clean kills .


I still have enough 162 gn amax bullets to see me out .These IMO are the nuts. Dead on arrival .


Im using a neopod bipod which weighs like fuck all and just my pack to steady the rifle. With a good rest at the lookout it makes easy work of it.

This one didnt get far 520 yds

Excellent. I can remember your first report using your first Sako. A M75 wood 308 maybe?
