Well I got her bore sited and then went to site it in. I shot Hornadys and I am very pleased with the results. The little 7mm is definitely a ton of fun to shoot, especially compared to the 460.

My grouping was about 1" or less @ 50yds and 2"@100.

Pretty decent for a begining handgunner.

Here is a picture:




As you can see two bullets in the 50yrd group are touching. I likey that!!

Time to carry her into the woods!!!

Thanks alot for the barrel and the help Jhunter!!!

The more you shoot it the more you're gonna love it. I do mine. I am going to have my trigger done though as it isn't even close to my contenders....My 7mm-08 actually kicks less than my 44

Good on ya, pard. And, good luck on the hunt. After what you went through with that meat grinder it's good to see a smile


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

The Elite series are great scopes, however you wouldn't have to eat the whole elephant in one bite. There are darn good products in-between that price range as well. The Bushy Trophy, and Weaver Classic ain't to be sneezed at and can be had for $150 and $170 respectively when on sale. Juat a thought. Have fun.

Good job, I knew someone could use this barrel. Been in my safe for 2 years. Went by my local gun shop and purchased some horandy 200gsst bullets, dies and some 200g barnes xpb's. Will let you know how it goes & I hope I don't need the bandaids.
