I got the rifle and scope for a decent price at a pawn shop. There was certainly no problem with the way the 7 mm magnum rifle worked or shot, but dang, did that rifle kick! Way worse than any other rifle I ever owned. This one just had that light density wood stock and the factory plastic buttplate, no recoil pad...no relief from the punishment! That gun sure put the "belt" in "belted magnum", and I was pleased to be rid of it. Good looking gun, just too much gun for me.
