I've got a mod 7 260 in a stug and love it, however I've always been a bit gutted it cant shoot the vld 130s or heavier pills. It's one of the older slower twist models.

Just a pipe dream at the moment but I reckon a rechamber to 6.5 saum would be awesome long term. Can the boltface be opened up? Then just a rebarrel from there? Just thinking saum as model 7 came out factory chambered in 7mm saum etc.

@cameronjackwhiteChanged a 243 7 into 300 saum, rebarreled with a rem barrel I bought off a member on here,had the bolt face opened and a sako type extractor fitted shoots mint.You will also need a saum mag box if going to use a mag,mine is a 2 shot 1 in the chamber and 1 on the top off the mag,178gn eldx seated at 2.905
