I put this on a cadex chassis attached to a tiny little pic rail in front of the mag well. Sits on a tripod very nicely

Also, don't do vortex...
I had an impromptu jujitsu match with my old dog when he ate about a half a pound of grapes. 50mL syringe with peroxide down the throat. He hated me for about a week. Probably saved his life though. Counted 30 some grapes in the puddles of puke lol
Pretty sure the anchor points are down filled, if they're cheaper than the krypteks I'd go with them. I found the anchor points after purchasing the krypteks, probably would have went anchor point.
I recently got into the packable stove game, we started the fire and kept feeding it with the door off and damper wide open until it was roaring away. Found if you close the door and damper before there's enough coals it will burn to rich and just smolder. Once we had a good bed of coals in...

I don't see an issue building off that action at all. I'd go 270wsm over 7wsm, brass is very hard to find. Or you need to fire form off 300wsm if you can find that.
I bought an 80's rem700 and a barrel, had a trigger tech trigger already and had the Smith put the barrel on and chamber as well as true the action. Was about the same price as buying a tikka up here in chinada
I built a 7 wsm on a rem700 long action. Seat 175gr berger bullets at 2.450" CBTO, works out to 3.1xx" no feeding issues from a box mag. Lots of room in the case for powder over SA seating depth.
I purchased an nx8 2.5-20x50 moar f1 last week to replace a vortex strike eagle 4-24x50.
This is possibly anecdotal but, 5 shot group size shrunk considerably. Last time I was out with the strike eagle the rifle shot 2.5-3inch groups at 100. With the nx8, 5 shots hovered around an inch or...
