Got my model 7 7Saum back today from its 'Jenny Craig fat camp'.... it's merely a shadow of its former self.

Bare weight as pictured 2,488 grams, that's under 5.5 lbs.
Stug CF stock weighing only 522 gr including the limbsaver.
While in Canterbury, I got Gunworks to flute the barrel with 12 thin flutes, flute the bolt and skeletonise the handle and fit a small light alloy nob.
Very happy with it, also swapping out the original steel bases and rings for talleys and it'll go just over 3kg once scoped up with either my 15x Super Slam or 20x vortex viper.
Shaved 1kg off what it was before.

Just gotta sort some optics for it which has been a confusing process, trying to decide between a 1-4/6 style scope or just a dirty red dot. Will either wear a spare nikon 3-9 in the mean time or I might just play with the irons for a bit of a laugh.

Milspec trigger is at least as horrible as the internet says so thats gotta go also.
Hopefully the mounts turn up tomorrow so I can get out the range on sunday,
Now that looks awesome I've got one of those little 7s on the way as well can't wait to try the 7mmsaum.Quote:

I can see why, no belt, less powder and shorter action, some good things going for it vs a 7mmRMQuote:

The 7mm saum and the 280ai are ballistic twins. If they made a movie about them would the saum be played by Danny Devito and the 280ai by Arnold Swazenager? I think yes.

I must take notes from all these SAUM builds as I've got a barrel from Camo Wsm for a future build. And for once I'm not lagging behind on the latest in thing!
I've also got a MDT LSS chassis waiting for clearance from customs for my 7mm rem mag. ,magpul CTR and hogue pistol grip with side folding adapter to go with it eventually.Lol 2 projects on the go!
I may be down slightly on brownie points for some time

I'm loving this thing so much I thought I would put some more pictures up. Can't wait to take it to doc watsons and ring some gongs

Nice. Did you buy the optics package separately or did it come already installed ? Been thinking about something for my Nagant for years....
Factory paired in 1943, so got them together.Quote:

Flying back home tonight to my first 45/70 was pretty exciting. @Maca49 stepped up with a great offer to let me take this off his hands. Love to know a little more about the broad arrow stamp/NZ99? I love broad arrows with them my SLR, No4 and mortars. Thanks Maca, given me a much needed highlight :)

I've got some info I think on the Martini Henry Actions I'll send it to you, never thought. It's a bit of nice history being put together by Din Collings and the stock by Earl Wyatt from Upper Hutt. @Tikka7mm08
I believe I may have shot that rifle with Maca once. What ever you paid him for it was way to much as I couldn't hit a bloody barn at five paces with it. Ha ha ha ha.
Will let you know today as have barns and ammo.Quote:

Will have a look...could be 90 actually. Loaded some 350gn up thanks to @jim160 with 50gn 2207. Lee dies very good to use.
