My shooting isn't good enough to warrant talking about group sizes or the difference ammo might make. All I can say is that my best groups are similar in size to what others get at my club range.

It groups well, including in cold temperatures. The barrel is Larsen. I'm not clear how it's different from the standard Izhmash one, but it is. Poor performance in cold is the one functional bad rap I've heard against Izhmash, but this rifle solves that problem. I like the bolting action and of cou...

A final entry on my rifle setup. I got a straight trigger blade and nicer sling and rear blinder from Altius Firearms, and have done the major fitting adjustments, including lengthening the stock. It feels real good in both positions, and my standing position is much more stable. Now it's time to ge...

I got the Bear M1a stock today for my Izhmash RH rifle. I think it looks beautiful and it feels great in my hands--especially for standing! I can't wait to fully fit it. http://methowvalleynordic.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/BearStockM1a_1_small.jpg http://methowvalleynordic.com/wp-content/uploads...

Now I would like to find out if the trigger blade part can be replaced by me or a gunsmith, and if the 7-4 trigger blade part is available in the US. Dave imports Bear stocks and is selli...

Thanks for your suggestions on who to contact. I'll report the answer back here if I am successful in getting one.

Hunting season can't be blamed for waiting weeks for a reply from Altius.

I tried, but Mark has not answered my phone call or email. He does not seem interested in my potential business.

Hi, I have a 7-3 rifle with a Larsen barrel that I got from Altius for my kids. One dropped out of the sport and the other is using a loaner rifle from our club. I want to get a better fit for my use, and one of the things I want to change is the distance from the rear of the trigger guard to the tr...
