Title: WOOHOO!! New critter gitter!
Post by: actionshooter on March 01, 2009, 08:25:06 PM: In my quest for a true lightwieght backpacking rifle I finally found something that will work (if it shoots ;) ). Its a Browning Abolt Mountain Titanium in 7wsm. I just lapped the Talleys and mounted the scope tonight. Going to the WDFW meeting in Ellensburg next Sat, so I might have to take a day off to go shoot it :chuckle:
I am excited this thing is pretty lite. :)

Anyone have a pet load for the 7wsm?
