Couldn’t leave well enough alone…

Decided to change up my setup for 2024.  . Sadly my pumps have taken a back seat to this tikka when hunting the big woods. I have two trijicons already and decided to retire the Leupld vari X 3 on this one. This is going to be a killer setup. I can’t say enough about the trijicon scopes and the single post illuminated reticle. I prefer the green.

Tikkas are nice! Good combo.

I always recommend the Accupoint to members on here.  I run the 3-9x40 on all my hunting long guns.  Green dot with Duped reticle!!

 

Nice setup you've got there!

Love the trijicon scopes. I prefer the standard duplex reticle w the green dot in center.

that’s a great scope!

I still love my pumps, but it sure was nice carrying this model seven around in Pennsylvania this year. 16 1/2 barrel, less than 6 pounds.  I have a VX 3,  1-5 on it.

i’m looking at that long barrel on that rifle thinking you may like something shorter for where you hunt?

Nice set up!

I've been toying with the idea of changing my VX3 Leupold on my 300 Weatherby for 10 years now. The combo has been so good to me that I'm afraid to change. I did change scopes on my Encore and my 12 gauge 870 SP  and so glad I did.

Congratulations on buck and great setup

Zero issues with barrel length. It’s short. Looks longer in the pic. My pumps shoulder great but this gun when shouldering just feels perfect! I like that model 7.  Nice setup. What caliber? I have been very happy with the 7mm-08.

I tried to like pump rifles....always go back to the bolt action. I stick to two calibers: 30-06 & 6.5 cm.
