Its a 7mm-08. Has the O/D green Hogue stock, 20" barrel, Simmons Predator Quest 6-18x44mm scope with the 3" shade topped with a Wicked W400 Hunting Light(green). 9"-13" bipod, sling and shell holder. Its not all big and bad as most...but im happy with what I have put together. The scope is not a top of the line ....but it was a gift from my dad. So it has a home on her.


And heres a neoprene cover I cut to fit and sewed back together.

I like it, in fact I like it a lot.

Never violate a woman, nor harm a child. Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men. Protect the weak against the evil strong. And never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.

Looks good!

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

Get you a cheek piece to raise up your eye level to put you more in line with the scope, and you'll be GTG. A Karsten cheek piece would be ideal. I have one on my Howa and like it a lot.
