Nice to see somebody using benchmark barrels on their hunting rifle. Good people at benchmark barrels. I have worked with them in Help make their puzzle breaks and barrel work. Love the channel keep up the good work.
What a great looking rifle. Something I did this season is bought an extra mag and have it preloaded for faster follow up shots if needed. Good luck this season
On that note- the magazine. MDT makes a 3 round polymer that would sit almost flush in that stock and will not rattle around in there like the metal AICS magazines do. Allows you to hold the rifle around the mag well when carrying it, which is more of a central balance point making the rig perceivably much lighter to carry. They work great unless you are really handloading a long round, in which case the metal ones seem to allow for a longer bullet due to the fact they can make the metal thinner than the polymer and still retain a rigid frame.
I got a new trick I'm doing this year for my sunshade on my scope. I removed the one it comes with. And am now using a Koozie. When I don't need a Sunshade I have it slid back. When I need it. I just slide it forward. It needs to be the good poly type. May need to adjust the thread stitches so it will be nice and snug. It is a few oz. less as well. Its pretty sweet... Because its there when you need it. And its there when you don't need it. Hope to run into you guys this year during high buck hunt. And possibly during Elk. The wife and I both got drawn for Cow Tags this year.
Thanks for sharing your upgrades to your sweet rifle. Definitely a killer rig. If only Aero Precision offered it in left hand as an option. Good luck 🍀 out there this fall 😃🐻🦌
Nice set up, have you looked at the hatch bipod? Absolutely the best bipod out there. From prone to kneeling any position. And then can use it on any rifle with a pic rail.
I bought a Hatch this spring and I'm really looking forward to using it this year. It's admittedly a little heavy, but if you can't get a few extra ounces in, you can't get a buck/bull out. Just my arrogant opinion.
Where you at with the suppressors? I added that to my set up this year and I’m never going back. And I love the 7saum move. I wanted to rebarrel my 30-06 to 280ai, the long action brother to 7saum but couldn’t muster up the courage with years past ammo shortages. I’m a bit jealous of the 7mm calibers.
Bruh! I guess you just never know whos gonna stumble across your rifle videos hahah, big fan of yours brother. And thank you very much! Ive worked hard on this set haha, Thats the RF 100-500 4.5-7.1, But i have the 2x teleconverter on it so making it look even larger.
@@PNWild Awesome! I appreciate you bro! Glad to see another person running Canon gear! Good luck this hunting season bro! Looking forward to seeing the videos you create this year!
When I first pulled this up I was thinking to myself - "That's the first time I've seen someone put the dog's vest on top of his rifle". Nice rig you have hidden under there. Seeing as this is a build you mean to pack and put that muzzle brake on there, do you plan on wearing ear pro for the entire time you are packing it, or chance spooking game fumbling for it prior to taking a shot? I've got a 7PRC and 300 PRC that shoot lights out- both of them have muzzle brakes. They sit in the safe while I grab a lesser rifle with no muzzle brake every time. The ear pro with hunting just seems to be such a hassle. Who wants to sit all day wearing ear pro until it gives you a headache and ruins your hunt. It's worse in Canada, where our idiotic laws prohibit suppressors. Thanks for the Video!
@@TheReallyPleasedDoge I (Bob) just wear the lightweight ear pro around my neck until it’s time to shoot. Takes me a few seconds to plug my ears and it’s never been an issue
But I want one! I’ll send you my address. 😂 feel free to send me cool gear. I lost 60lbs so none of my clothing fits and I’m headed to snake river unit Oregon for elk. 😒❄️
Burger bullets have to be moving 1800fpd to perform properly. At his speeds he is probably good out to 950 yards an keeping recommend speeds. That’s straight from Berger. And them classic hunters are fucking mean!
@@PNWild I used the classic hunters for a long time in my 7mag. They did everything I wanted and more. Now I’m shooting a custom 7prc. Trying out the 168VLDs. Shooting 1/2 groups at 300. She is deadly, definitely stuffing them more then I should with h1000 😂 3gr more then I was running in my 7mag
@@rickydurfee1643 By chance have you tried a Barnes 160 LRX in the 7PRC? I was considering it in one of mine. I have Berger 180 and 168 VLDs on hand also. Currently shooting the 168 over 73.0 Retumbo in a 7RemMag at just over 3000 fps. Works very well.
@pnwild, you should check out the mtngear bipod. Super lightweight, yet crazy stable. Just picked one up for this year because I was between the spartan and the ckye pod but wanted something lighter that I could still leave attached to my rifle. It’s an expensive bipod but I feel like I’m getting the best of both worlds and not giving up anything.
I know you’re sponsored by vortex, but that scope can’t hold a candle to the Maven RS1.2 2.5-15, which retails for $1200. You should give it a try sometime.
I will have to agree about Maven. Just went from Zeiss to ra3.1 5-30-50 and it's absolutely amazing on how clear they are. Vortex makes a amazing scope also but the Maven is just that much brighter.

Looking forward to another great season of videos.
FYI - If you used a Nightforce, you wouldn't need a heavy scope cover.
@@MrGT3 Lol. We love our Vortex scopes! The cover keeps them scratch free and debris out of the muzzle
Not sure of the legal situation in WA but if possible a silencer is a huge game changer and the weight is negligible for what you get.

Love it, what length barrel?
Why the sunshade on the scope? Does it hamper low light visibility at all?
mostly just protecting the objective when i don't have the marsupial on it. keeps branches from reaching it and scratching / rain drops / sun flares
Where are all the hunting videos!!surely you guys go elk hunting every year.
I can take elk with my 270 and $150 sig scope out to 500yds 😂
More critters have been taken with a 30-06 and a 3-9x scope than anything hahahah you def don't need this rifle to take an animal.
But I want one! I’ll send you my address. 😂 feel free to send me cool gear. I lost 60lbs so none of my clothing fits and I’m headed to snake river unit Oregon for elk. 😒❄️
7saum for out to 500 yards on deer?
Enough said ..... Next
Ever heard of Gunwerks? you should checkout the capabilities of the 7SAUM, you may be surprised.

Geezuz😂
That magpul bipod is so unstable compared to the Spartan. Massive downgrade IMO.
Bob and Zack still both use the spartan, id just rather have mine attached to the rifle, as far as stability goes I've never ever had an issue.

who hurt you?
In what way does the Maven out perform the LHT? How long have you used the LHT?
I will have to agree about Maven. Just went from Zeiss to ra3.1 5-30-50 and it's absolutely amazing on how clear they are. Vortex makes a amazing scope also but the Maven is just that much brighter.
😂😂😂 just no. Maybe the viper line… maybe.
