The diminutive size is what I liked so much about the Seven. I could walk all day with it in hand, and not get fatigued. I actually miss the little guy (even though I have no use for it now). My 308 Seven CDL had factory installed irons - which I very much like on all of my rifles. I don't see many Seven's around, and very few of them had walnut stocks AND sights (the only iron sighted units I've seen have had synthetic furniture). I'm starting to pine a little.

I don't have any first hand experience with the Force Zero mounts, but quite a bit with the LT mounts and sights. Thanks for the T1 VFZ feedback. I've been thinking about putting a small / lightweight RDS for my wife's Colt...and as I mentioned early my SLR.
