I have a similar mod 7 7mm08, it was a cheap trademe purchase. When it arrived i was a bit dissapointed in its condition, it was pretty scruffy to be fair. A rough as guts pig hunter had had it and it was quite knocked about.

The alloy trigger guard was squashed flat.
A suppressor had been left on for an ectended period of time and there was some bad corrosion and pitting on the exterior of the barrel. A barrel chop to 15 inch removed nearly all of it.

The stock was very knocked about too. But i fitted another stock i had lying about.

And heres the result. Its now a bloody neat wee gun. Its balanced really nicely and easy to maneuver in the tight stuff.

Im running 140 NBTs at 2700 fps with CFE223 which is pretty good medicine for close to med range hunting.

I shot a fallow at 270 yards with it just over a month ago. And I'd be happy to push it to 400 yds if i had too.

I run the 160gr TMK at 2430fps

In going off the theory of a softer heavier weighted bullet with a higher BC. I want to blood something with it haha
