    It would seem odd to take the factory barrel off and put a slower twist one on.

    Regardless if you want a saum and if it is a slower twist I'm sure you won't be "limited " in projectile options.

    It's one of the cheapest ways to get a saum of any sort, especially with a carbon stock. A custom saum would be knocking over 5k to build, so its probably worth a punt if your after one

    Exactly,
    Sure he got the twist rate measurement wrong. Is not on the barrel so he just measure with cleaning rod and patch.
    Anyway, is a bargain with everything included and the zeiss scope.
    Might pull the trigger

    Personally would not go for it, own 2 M7's and getting a 3rd soon.

    The M7 action is better suited to the 308/7mm08/260/6.5CM/243 or better still 223 range of cartridges.

    Hot loads on an M7 reciever are quite difficult to unstick (weak primary extraction) so I imagine a SAUM load would be more still.

    For the same money, stick a T3, Howa 1500 or even Rem 700 into a KRG Bravo, load long with AICS mags and you are laughing.

    The ergonomics of those McMillans make it feel like the rifle kicks harder than it does, terrible design.
