Well I am finally ready to head to the range. It has taken me a while to put this rifle together the way I wanted. I was hung up on what scope rings I wanted to put on it. I ended up with the night force titaniums. It is topped with a leupold vx3 6.5x20. I am pretty excited to get out and do some long range shooting!!

Great rifle, great cartridge! I'm going to purchase a Sako here fairly soon in the same chambering(.300 WSM). I just can't make up my mind between the A7 and the 85 Finnlight?

What after market stock did you go with?

jjhunter · « **Reply #5 on:** June 23, 2013, 07:58:07 AM »

I believe that is the stock that comes standard on the tecomate model?

There isn't anything cheap about this sucker. Even the scope covers cost what I paid for my first .22.

Biggerhammer · « **Reply #8 on:** June 23, 2013, 08:25:31 AM »

I missed the "Tecomate" great looking rifle, especially being a all factory offering. Looks like a A7 Tecomate it is. Local gunshop I purchase through doesn't open for a bit. So it's coffee time untill I can order one up. Thanks for sharing your rifle, great choice in glass. That cartridge is capable of using up all the elevation dope on that scope.😉

I'm hoping it will handle it. I bought it for the high country.

You're going to love that gun, I've got the 270 Tecomate and I'm very strongly thinking about buying the 300 as well.

Am having 6 of these, all in the same caliber topped with Vortex optics,sent to our brokering concession in South Africa.

Maligator · « **Reply #13 on:** June 23, 2013, 09:37:34 AM »

Nice looking rig you have there

let us know how she shoots. Its a Sako so I would expect nothing less than sub-moa but it would be interesting to note what she likes to eat.

My Tikka 300 WSM LOVES Federal Vital-Shoks w 180gr Accubonds. I get 1/2 moa out of it with those pills

mountainman · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2013, 10:04:45 AM »

Keep us posted on how she shoots for you!

Turned out great bud!! now to notch a tag with it!

Well there's a 30+ inch buck up where I go on the high hunt that inspired me to buy this rifle. He will be in the same pocket again this year, I will have a little surprise for him. It won't be my .50 cal muzzy

I hate to admit it but so do I. Don't get me wrong my Tikka 300 WSM is a tackdriver but now I NEEEEEED one of these rifles since I live over here on the wetside & my Tikka is a wood stock

You're killing me smalls

teanawayslayer · « **Reply #24 on:** June 23, 2013, 05:46:34 PM »

I drooled over this rifle for quite a while. Sold some other guns bartered for the scope. It was well worth the wait

Hey I know that scope LOL. Great choice I have a A7 in 270 wsm and it shoots amazing. If you hand load for it try some imr 4350. All my shot mags, which is more then a couple. Love the accubonds over a good dose of imr 4350.

I feed all 5 of my shorty's with that combo

Maybe you better stay out of mine and quit buying all the dang IMR in the tri cities ROFLOL. No wonder I can never find any when I am there

Alchase · « **Reply #29 on:** June 24, 2013, 09:01:56 AM »

Beautiful rifle,
My Finlight 75, in 300 win mag, is my go to rifle. Superb craftsmanship, and a quality shooter.

Alchase · « **Reply #30 on:** June 24, 2013, 09:04:35 AM »

I still want a TRG-42 in .338 Lapua Mag though

pd · « **Reply #31 on:** June 25, 2013, 09:38:12 AM »

Hey guys, it is really nice to see other A7 fans here (I have the .30-06, which is stainless, but not fluted in the barrel).

Your Leupold is a monster. I feel like a dinky with mine...

The .300 WSM is on sale right now at Euro Optic. Get them while you can. (Euro Optic used to carry a wide variety of A7s, but they are closing out their inventory. Buy what you want now, or forever regret it.) Here is the link

that is where I purchased mine. Wasn't real impressed it took over to weeks to have it shipped.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #35 on:** June 25, 2013, 05:42:01 PM »

They have been on sale for awhile they have them listed on gun broker as well.

teanawayslayer · « **Reply #36 on:** November 17, 2013, 08:26:47 AM »

I totally forgot about this thread. The rifle shoots a good group. It is what they say it is. 1/2 groups. Love the action it is really smooth. I am going to have a muzzle break installed though. After about round 6 it starts to hurt a bit.
