I purchased this gun from the special at the Hunt Expo after months of consideration of many companies.

I went through the 20 round break-in process this week and yesterday took the rifle out to shoot for groups.

I used the recommended 160 grain Barnes TSX.

The first factory rounds I used for groups produced a .25 inch, 3 shot group. This was shot 34, 35 and 36 from the rifle. Once I proved the rifle could shoot, I dialed up for some long range steel and had some fun.

I broke it in unsuppressed because of all the cleaning but put on a SilencerCo Omega 300 after 20 shots. The barrel has a 1/2 28 threading, which I was concerned with. I emailed SilencerCo before getting the rifle and they said that threading is fine for a 7mm with a 24 inch barrel.

The scope is a Leupold Mark 5 3.6-18x44 mounted with Vortex Precision Matched Rings. Love the scope, but wish they made lower rings. It is a 35mm tube, which is great, but because the objective is 44mm, it could sit lower. Problem is that you just need a certain amount of steel for the screws to hold those big rings so it limits how low you can go. Not a big deal. Used my buddy's Bradley cheek riser, which I will buy...lightweight but stable.

I am impressed with the rifle. It has a good feel, is medium weight, and shoots well. I will see if I can take care of a few marmots this week.

That's good you have it in writing from SiCo. Had one in 7mm mag myself but Thunderbeast specifically stated to not use 1/2x28 threading for any of their suppressors on a magnum rifle. Big part of why I sold it. Hope that SiCo will stand behind it if you have issues since they gave you the green light on it.
