WOW.

Also does not beat you up like the 7mm mag.
Thank you for sharing.

Better make sure you have lots of ear protection when you shoot that cartridge!!

I'm not really into guns but the Metal and Marble look is cool! But I must add, should only be shot with a Leica to match!

Actually, the 7mm Shooting Times Westerner, originally a Layne Simpson wildcat was an 8mm Magnum case necked down to 7mm. Supposed to be long range / flat shooting. Can't imagine the recoil is less than the original 7mm Mag whose performance it was designed to surpass.

Actually this puts out the same weight bullet as a 7mm mag about 200 fps faster. It is on a full length magnum case.

Thanks for the comments. Glad you like it.

I like the idea of firearms photos. When I get back to my house in Idaho where I have quite a few similar to this one, rifles, pistols and shotguns, I think I will post some photos of some of my older ones that I still shoot frequently. There are some beautiful L. C. Smith 10 gauges from the 1880's, a number of Parker Brothers, a Winchester 21 Skeet gun and a few Ansley H. foxes to mention just a few shotguns.

Thank you very much. When I get back to Idaho it will go on the chopping block as I don't need two of the same caliber. I am of course NOT offering it for sale here, just showing off a beautiful rifle.

I have never shot one but did follow the STW series development.
My reading I thought I learned that it is faster but with less felt recoil and that was the big draw to the cartridge.
But my memory could be wrong.

I don’t think it is possible according to the law of physics to go faster with less recoil when shooting a bullet of the same weight; all else being equal. This generally shoots a 140 grain bullet around 3400 fps.

All true. Thanks for the comment.
