They are definitely proud of their products.

I'm not ruling anything out but I was at least initially thinking about a mid tier build because it would live it's life being hauled around in cars or boats or fishing or something like that.

I don't have any particular deadline so later on if I find something on sale I might spring for it.

That said that one V Seven is made from a different type of metal alloy. That seems cool. I've seen others made from some magnesium blend too.

My current 9" 300BLK is a tad over 9lbs with everything including the sling, suppressor, optic, and a full mag. Considering that I'm not going to mess with the internal stuff like having a skeletonized BCG and a titanium firing pin I really need to figure out if it makes enough difference to make a difference if you know what I mean.
