Good looking rig you have there. I might have to explore one of those for a 7 RM I have here. What did it cost?

Thanks yukonal. I do like my venison. I originally bought the rifle as an elk rifle for my daughter. She should be able to go fall after next. I figured I should wring it out on a deer this fall for good measure. I'm considering a brake for it,but really don't think she will need one in a hunting situation. Maybe it would be nice for bench work. We'll see how it plays out. I hope to have her in it next fall for deer. Then I can get my beloved 243 M700 stainless mountain rifle back! I love that little rifle for whitetails. 8) The only thing that would be any better would be dear old dad picking up a Tikka 25/06 for himself. Hmmmm 😉 ::) 8).

Could be. I have a semi custom 284 win on a Remington long action as well. While it will shoot nice little bug holes,it's more fussy about what you feed it. It didn't come to be for $550.00 either,lol. The barrel alone was over $300.00 :o. For what I have in it I could own 2 stainless Tikkas. Things that make you say “Duh”

That's a “Pogo Stick” that I make from time to time. It's a stainless steel upright with 2 spikes and an adjustable cradle. Nothing fancy,but quite portable and solid for walking varminting.  I'll often carry a small sandbag in a fanny pack as well for the toe of the rifle. You never know when you might need to post up in a hot spot for a while. I'm working on a 3 piece version that can grow along with the hay from prone to sitting position. The one in the pic is about 25 years old.
