I have not been able to figure out pictures yet. If someone will put them on for me I will try to take some and email them.

Go to www.hotchyx.com and browse your picture into the field where it reads Browse. Then click Upload. You'll get a selection of character strings. Put your cursor on BBCode; highlight it and Copy it. Now make your post. Then Paste the string you copied. You'll see something like this: crap-crap-crap-stuff-stuff-stuff[IMG]the image you want to post[/IMG]stuff-stuff-stuff-crap-crap-crap. What you now do is delete everything on either side of the [IMG] and [/IMG] brackets. You image will show up. If you do not delete the stuff and crap, it will also show up in your post and it looks trashy. You can post a picture in less than a minute this way and hotchyx requires no account, registration or any of the other bullsqueeze required by the larger hosting sites.

For deer the 140 gr accubond, elk 160 accubonds. I've only got 8 rounds through it so far with 150 gr matchkings and it's shooting very well.

I loaded up some 140 grain Acubond as well and some 150 grain E-Tips. I also had some 160 grain Partitions in Federal Premiums. I thought about trying some 168 Grain Hunting VLDs but thought I'd try the 3 loads I have first. I have'nt got to shoot mine yet. I hope this week. Glad to hear yours is shooting good.

wow,..two Winny customs in 7mm Rem Mag...you don't see that chamber very often in a custom rifle....most guys don't apperciate just how good an accurate 7mm Rem Mag really is...I like it.

Sounds like nice rifle you guys have gotten put together.

I have a couple 700's in 7 Mag, but I have thought about one on a Model 70.

I don't have any accurate digital scales to weigh it with. On my fish scales it weighs 7lbs even, unloaded with Murrary leather sling.

I am wanting to Cerakote the rifle but can't choose a color. I am trying to decide between desert sand (tan), graphite black or olive green. What color do you guys think would look best?

I don't think out off the box much though when it comes to rifles.
