I still love this thing…
UM rings and hunter’s rail.
This rifle is just as good as my custom rifles at less than 1/2 the cost. Only limitation is the magazine and twist but 185 bergers will get the job done on anything up to 600.

I’ve used Kuiu, Sitka, First Lite, Badlands, and Kings. All good. The other brands are great, too.
If I were putting together a system and didn’t mind mixing brands…
1. Sitka Jetstream
2. First Lite Merino pants
3. First Lite Chamberlain (for super cold) or Kuiu SuperDown (for regular cold)...
He’s right. An R93 with the “off-road” stock would be a dream backpacking rifle. Only thing you give up to the R8 is that R93 doesn’t have the removable fire-control/magazine. The R93 is trim and light and shoots incredibly well… just pricey.

I have one with a 26” barrel. I like it. I wouldn’t pick one for ease of tuning. I don’t know there is such a thing.
I’ve used mine with 143 Hammers and 180 VLDs. It’s just another 7mm magnum in a short action.
