Short bolt action

I knew you'd show up.. I nearly PM'd you, but I figured you'd sniff it out.

I've abandoned the Ruger Compact for the Remington Model 7. Weight wise wasn't much different and I think the 20 inch barrel of the Remmy is a good compromise. Now I'm stuck n stainless or blued. I like the look of the blue better but the ruggedness of the stainless has its appeal too. I think there was a blued vs stainless thread on here imma look for.

For me I'll trade 4-6" of barrel for a 100ish fps any day of the week! I have never in my life heard an educated hunter say "this 308 is too slow I need a 30-06 to kill deer" because no deer in the world will know your bullet is 100fps slower.

For still hunting or tracking I like a gun to be under 40" over all length and a weigh under 7lbs loaded with a scope. This is why I love my tikka t3's with the sawed off barrels.

How much is the Model 7?  If you want a real nice lightweight rifle, look into the Kimbers.  The blued/walnut 84M models are real nice.  For a little more you can get the Montana 84M in stainless/Kevlar.  One tough mother of a hunting rifle that's made for accuracy and real light too, even with a 22" barrel.

The blued is 540 and the stainless was around 620.

That's not bad.  Kimbers go for twice that.

A kimber Adirondack is one of only a couple guns I have ever sold. When they were being released I knew I had to have one. I just could never get used to not having a mag or hinged floor plate. But man that thing was light!
