Hope everyone is having a great Xmas day.
Anyone know or have any info on the 7SAUM
listed on trade me? Link at bottom.
The store don't know a lot about it.
Model 7 maybe too short to load long 180s?
Any info will be much appreciated.

Greetings,
I think that the twist will be too slow for 180 grain projectiles. I think that the barrel will be 22 inch if it is original. Probably made around 2004 with the bolt lock like that. Max cartridge length is likely to be a little over 70mm if the mag is standard.
GPM.
As above, if it's a standard barrel will probably have too slow twist.
I have a Mod 7 in saum, max I can get in the mag is about 2.830" OAL, I shoot 162s out of mine. I personally haven't shot or looked into the heavier projectiles and probably won't intend to given the shorter length and I don't really want to single feed.
The twist rate I believe is 9.25". Once I used up my 162gr I'm probably going to tinker with a 143gr hammer hunter due to I assume it'll fit nice in the mag
I had a look at it about 3 months ago when I went past, story is it an ex duley one, one of their first ones. Give the guy a ring not a bad bloke to yarn with
I got one similar. I dual load for it: 162 gr amax and 140 gr Barnes. More or less a similar trajectory. I have pushed the 162,s up to 650m.
If it is a Duley build it may have a faster twist barrel.Quote:

I've looked at that one too but unless it's a custom barrel it's probably priced a bit high. In saying that I really like McMillan stocks.
If it is a custom barrel with faster twist rate I would say it's not bad buying.
The standard REM barrel on the Model7 SAUM will shoot the 162s real well. Once the barrel is shot out replace it with a fast twist. Shoot a mag fit load for spook & shoot, and a single feed load for long range.
Thanks everyone,
They have that rifle for long so wondering why is not selling.
I'll give them another call when open.
If fully factory maybe a bit steep pribut if custom
With fast twist is not too bad
Hey mate, that's one of my old rifles
It's priced to sell he wants 3600 for the diavari, gun and reloading gear absolute bargin, considering the value of the scope alone.
Don't believe everything old mate in the shop tells you he's known to stretch the truth a bit....
I didn't shoot that load, but it shot well when I had it.

I'd say there's a high chance every secondhand rifle in CHB had been yours at one time or another�� Merry Christmas fellaQuote:

Is got a bartlein barrel, shop guy has measure and said 1:10 twist. Which I doubt being a bartlein.
But who knows.
Anyone have Duley contacts? He might remember
It's not a duley gunQuote:

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,Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
No way it’ll be a 1-10 9 at the most the saum on m7 goes sweet as just short mags is all buy it you’ll be happy trust me I’m going to dannivirke tomorrow so il stop in and check it out for you will flick you a pm
Appreciate the offer to Check it out !Quote:

Heading my way soon.
The M7 won't be my preferred action to build a 7 saum but for the price ...was a good buy with that zeiss scope,redding comp dies,brass,loaded ammo,suppressor.
No my favorite stock ether but none the less,a carbon stock and bartlein barrel.
Very well priced.
It’ll be a cracker man just run 160bt or 162 eldm and you’ll be laughing single feed if you need to fun fun fun I love the slim stock’s similar to my mannersQuote:

Yeah man, it comes with 30 loaded rds of 160 accubonds.Quote:

Yeah, if I like it, then I'll get yours too ! ��Quote:

Mod 7. Factory barrel. Shooting 162 amax. Plenty on grunt and is doing mild speeds. Love it. I too wanted a taste for one, I even asked about how to rechamber at one stage. Kept an eye out and this came up. It’s given me a taste and hasn’t not done anything a custom can I imagine. It’ll be on more missions this year.

Is a semi custom with the bartlein barrel,carbon mcmillan stock etc...
Hope to get the 162 at around 2900f/s. Should be mean medicine
