Thread: The Latest and hopefully last 7 Saum i will own.....

After having owned about 5 or 6 of these it has become my favourite cal and i have had a few different incarnations of this great round from model 7's and rem titaniums to a sako 85 i decided to part with my last one which was a rem titanium that @Nesika now has i decided to build my version of the ultimate 7 Saum,

The first step was to decide on the action for this rig i had two on the shortlist the defiance and lone peak titanium... so i got both in after a lengthy wait and although the defiance hunter was top notch i opted for the lighter titanium action 300 grams lighter in fact....

so here she is hopefully the weather clears so i can get to load development.

Specs are.


Lone Peak Razor titanium short action with nitrided bolt.
Bartlein 2b 1:8.7 finished at 22 inches
McMillan NZ Hunter edgetech stock
Bainey 3b magbox has an internal length of 3.1 inches so i can seat the eld-x's out nicely
Triggertech trigger
Talley rings (waiting on some Hawkins precision to arrive)
Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44 with aluminas

Bare rifle weighs 2.610 KG and scoped ready to go is 3.360 kg on the kitchen scales


Cheers Dean for putting it together for me and the encouragement and advice from @7mmsaum @dale @Matt2308

Very nice mate.

Very nice. How much did the actions cost ? I like the sound of that titanium action

Haha I could've gone lighter with a light profile barrel and some flutes etc but I wanted to run a bartlein and the 2b is the smallest they go in stainless and would be similar to a #3 of most other barrels,

I will let you guys know how it shoots when I get round to loads just moved house and am finishing my place off first before I get sidetracked

Yeah I bet, I was just being a smart arse. You've put together what is hopefully a real keeper.

Not sure what happened with my inverted pic?
