Thread: The model 7 in your life

Iv just put this together over the past week it’s being a long week with everything else but this has kept it exciting I went to pick the rifle back up Friday and the smith cocked up the thread so had to wait on another dpt that thankfully with the rings and new mount for the bipod arrived Saturday morning . .223 chopped to 17 3/4 “ dpt can slipped a timney trigger in which took some filing off the factory stock to fit and function correctly. Everything bar the rings dpt and trigger sourced from the forum pre loved . It shot the hnf bulk Hornady 55gn ok . It hated the Belmont 55gn lapua sp (mainly miss fires) the 55gn Sierra hand loads from its previous lover and it’s 20” barrel shot tiny little bug holes even with the chop and I didn’t get to shoot the 62 63 or 65 not sure which one Sierra hand loads as we were kicked out because apparently sundays is pistol day at our range . Theirs a lot of the 55 at my local but their very expensive so I’m hoping to duplicate the accuracy with 2206h and 55 hornadys very fun we rifle

Shoots the 65 game king very well 3 at 100mtrs with the 10 power scope that’s a really good group for me at that zoom I usually shoot groups at 100 around 12-15 power seems to be what suites my eyes best at 100 just made it to Wilson’s before closing and snatched up 100 new brass and am waiting on some targex from a mate of mine to arrive fingers crossed for the morning courier hunting for the weekend is canned with the weather but I’m hopeful to make the range tomorrow evening
