looks like a first class whitetail setup :yeah:
my 7-08 is a blue action, stainless 15" barrel, wood grip and forearm. if you can put a sling on that dude, and shorten it up pretty short, you might be able to shoot that baby offhand with aid of the sling. i hook it behind my left elbow, with my left hand on the forearm. apply opposing pressure with your hand or finger tips, and outward pressure with your left arm. the tightened sling steadies you up pretty good. i killed my two deer this way. 50 and 75 yards offhand.
only thing is, i screwed sling swivel studs into the end of my forearm, and in my walnut grip. wouldn't work on yours the same, but it could still be done. maybe a stud to replace the front forearm screw, and a grip bolt replacement stud. i think they make a sling kit that would do that.
works for me anyway. i'd say there's not many other ways to shoot these big guns offhand with much steadiness. i can hold mine as steady as i can a rifle, using only the sling for help.
:music: :money:
