| Yes got my hands on an A7 in 300 WSM, and flipped it before I shot it. A very light weight rifle, nice action, nice trigger, $1099 blued and $1199 stainless. A guy in Alberta brought in several from a USA dist. Did I already say they are light? FS |

| They've been on the shelves here for a few months. I have handled a 30-06 and 270 wsm, one blued one stainless. VERY light rifles, lots of good carry over features from the 75/85 series, but some cost cutting measures to bring a good rifle to the masses. From what I remember researching the barrels are the same as the 85's, which is to say a damn fine factory barrel! I've seen them at on-the-shelf-prices of 750-800$.
If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

| Might be decent, they pack a mighty tall accuracy guarantee. I like the fact that they have short actions instead of just long actions with mag spacers like the T3. A little too futuristic for me. ________ "...And on the 8th day, God created beer so those crazy Canadians wouldn't take over the world..." |
