Super Duty,

Seems I'm like you...............I look for "features" I want in a gun first.



Classic lines, but synthetic (no Monte Carlo stock or raised/adj. comb).

Least drop at comb I can find.

Must be stainless.

Free floated

Glass bedded

Hammer forged

Want detachable box magazine (always buy one extra - loaded & carry as back-up).

Under 7lbs or there abouts

Tapered barrel (want low scope mount for good cheek weld)

8.5 lbs total carry weight.

& so on......................


Agree with most of your assesment on both rifles.


I could have went the otherway, except the A7 doesn't come in .338 Win Mag
