Sure, but did they do that one?

Most replacement rem bolt knobs look like tacticool wanna be goat testicles, are humungous and leave a permanent depression in your back from carrying them slung.

That one is a very functional looking hunting type teardrop, which looks both ascetically pleasing and more efficient.

Also on looking it is seemingly blended to a contoured matched fit with the handle suggesting someone was paying more attention than the average gunsmith tends to do.

So I still remain unsure of the providence/manufacture of the actual knob or who actually fitted it....?

Mine is the same and was done through kiwi greg, whoever does his work. I like it

Sorry mate, missed this.

Yep Gunworks in Chch did it all mate. It was a standard option they offered at the time, probably still do.

Cheers Thanks GWN... I found their pictures and it looks similar... but yours seems tidier.... and somewhat slimmed down....

Be interested in if they still do this work, without Robbie on the tools? Very nice work.

Edit: Checked their website. Several options still available.

Put this together over a few months, yet to shoot it but...
6.5 Creed Model 7 with Manners EH8 stock, 18" Hardy barrel. Make up is Tungsten Cerakote.

Hey looks pretty darn sweet Mathias, you will be stoked with that!!.

Seem to recall you were sticking with the factory trigger, did you get the smith to do any work on it???
What twist and length is your finished barrel and what projectiles you hoping to run in it????

Yeah came up nice, hope it performs.
1:8.5 twist as Hardy's had a sale and it was off the shelf rather than wait. Only planning on 120gr, Nosler BT or Sierra SP.
Original trigger is ok, been fiddled with already I think, so will see how it goes.

Maaate....that looks freakin awesome man. Love it!

I must get round to finishing off my M7 6.5CM. I threw it together temporarily, put a few shots threw it, sanded down a new recoil pad and thats where it stopped.

You may have inspired me to get it finished.

I bet you're looking forward to shooting it, will it be run suppressed?

@Mathias looking good mate! Definitely getting closer to shooting it with it all put together now

Yes i remember

Ive had a fair bit on my plate for the first half of this year, have managed to squeeze in the odd deer hunt and a bit of small game pest control (off for another shoot in the orchard tonight) but bugger all range shooting or mucking around with guns currently.

Yours has come up bloody well, im keen to hear more about your loads etc once you get that far.

Mines still at 24 inch but im thinking ill knock it back a bit.

My Mod 7 223 just got a face lift with a DPT suppressor , it's shooting quite well, I tried seven different loads at 200 yards and all were within 5-6 inches of bull. It was a little left at the start but bought it over a couple of clicks then the last three loads I tried were more on line, so pretty happy with end results.
