Well I bought a new rifle to use while driving around in my jeep looking over the area. I didn’t like loading the 30 06 every time got out to look around and then unloading before moving on.
The new one is a Tikka superlite in 7mm 08 with an extra clip that holds 5 rounds. It has a ss fluted barrel to help keep the weight down and with the light rifle being just over six lbs the 7 mm08 runs
shouldn’t be too hard with recoil.
Soon as I get back home, I will start working up a load and breaking in the barrel.
My first clip style rifle, so even if I venture out on a ridge at least the extra rounds will be contained and not rattling around in my pockets.

Pics or it didn’t happen Bob!

An ex-Marine hunts deer on my farm with one. One round kill every time.

Well no pics to post. Sales slips are all I have. Hopefully the rifle is at an FFL in WA and the extra clip is in the mail.

Bob, that is unfortunate. My day is shot now w/o those pics. Guess I’m going to have to go to work now and drown my sorrows in gear oil…… :wink:
