Default RE: Weight vs. Power

I would get a Model 70 featherweight in 7wsm ..bring it to a gunsmith turn trigger down to 3lbs or so and get a decelerator pad put on it. If your not into handloading look at Federals lineup for this cartridge this year especially the Accubond loadings. I bought a Super Shadow for a January hunt in this same caliber. After a few days I really got tired of having no floor plate so I ditched the stock and bought a new featherweight stock and ordered new bottom metal from Winchester. I now own a matte finished model 70 "I guess you can call it a Featherweight" in 7 wsm . Get lightweight (Talley Aluminum Rings) 1 1/2 oz and a lightweight 2-7 or 3-9 and your all set.
