If this rifle could talk. I lost it in a river after a bear hunt in Alaska, and found it a week later. I killed an elk with it at 275 yards off hand in Colorado. I cut the barrel down to 18 inches and mounted a Rugged Micro 30 suppressor to it in the short configuration. I pretty much leave the rifle stock as it is an everyday hunters gun. I did find a Tikka CTR T3X stock that is left hand in the USA that I will be changing out to. I am building a Curtis Custom Valor Quick change barrel with more info when it is done.
I tried to line a few hogs up when I shot. I was not going for vitals I was shooting for reaction. Some customers feel 7.62x39 isn't enough but it is plenty. I have used a lot of different calibers all the way down to Subsonic 22LR. Hitting them with 300 WSM does help but there is no such thing as a magic round. I am grateful for the business I am in and the experience I have gained.
