Thread: The model 7 in your life

yep it is I personally prefer darker wood but it shoots better than I can so ill leave it alone I think its bedded as well

Another 8pt jap that that fell to the super model 7. mine shot five 8 point japs before i realized i needed a stainless synthetic rifle to kill a deer. ( stupid youth and hunting & fishing catalogs )
2002 in the otapua. the party before us told of a stag that roared every night so my mate and i ate breaky in the dark on the airstrip without a word, listening, hoping. Then just before daylight he started up but like the previous party we couldnt really pinpoint it.
Unlike the others though we never lost patience and sat there having many brews, listening,pointing at the hills and planing the stalk. The plan changed many times until well after sunup we were sure we knew where he was. It was a shame that he had finally stopped roaring but we didnt want to waste our good work and set off after him.
It was prob close to 10am when we stalked up to the spur we had pinpointed and as he was well bedded up he heard/saw us and did the vapour trail thing. It was only my mates squeaks that slowed him up but that was enough as i had boosted up the ridge and through the scope i could make him out behind some scrub, one shot through the ribs and he was ours. While not being the biggest stag we have shot its one of the best hunts we have had together. ( me & M7 not my mate )

Awesome effort.

Not mine but my uncle let me use his. Took it out and drilled some goats for dog food, 308 was big enough

The 2 in my life. Just need mount for the ATACR F1 to go on the 7mm Saum....super easy sizing 300 saum Norma...thought that might be a bit effort on the press...not at all.

Wow! Whats the coating you've got on the action and barrel, it's like it just disappears.

Yep:-) I am in the middle of repainting the stock. The guy who did the paint work before used a black paint that I whipped off with acetone.must have been the water paint from his children paint kit.

Reviving this thread.
Was a bit naughty tonight and bought a Mod 7 Laminate/blue in 300saum. Reputed to have only fired 7 shots. Came with 93 rounds of 165 grn Rem factory ammo. It was a bit of a steal.
I will stick a 'scope on it and thread it for a muffler and get it under way. Quite looking forward to it.

I wondered where that disapeared to! Welcome to the ultra-elite part of the club, the 300Saum model 7 owners guild!

Welcome to the club, saw that one on trademe, looked nice. There is a nice 338 federal Model 7 there at the moment too. Would make a great bush thumper.

Yeah, I made him an offer without the 'scope and mounts.

Be a nice handy "namesake" rifle.

Yes. Must get back onto them.
Did Theo tell you I dropped some meat in for him?

Does the model 7 in saum have any trouble with Cartridge OAL?

Im running 165 accubonds at a touch over mag length (2.910) which doesnt really bother me, I have a few loaded up that fit iin the mag and shoot to the same point of impact so will keep them in the mag for spook and shoot, its just a little bit more accurate with the longer oal, hardly anything in it to tell the truth.
