The Model 7 bug has spread further south! My son (17) needed his own rifle, so I said start looking and saving. He's always preferred wood over plastic and one look at this and he wanted it. I've "loaned" him my old VX3 2.5-8 as a fill in until he buys his own scope. So the tidy little 7lb Mod 7 is in 260, the best bit about it of course Now the pressures on me to sort a good load.

that sat on my watchlist if it is the one off trademe. Was so tempted but controlled myself. Still gutted i could not grab that 308 on the forum earlier this year =(

[ATTACH]7938 Dont worry @superdiver , it's happy where it is....

I havnt had the 20 year old 260 Rem out of the safe for a very long time, it use to be one of my favs.

I had no ammo in the box for it, so loaded up some 120gr Sierra Prohunters with some H414 and had a play.

It must have been happy about seeing the light of day, shooting a couple of shots just under 1 inch ...................at 300 yards ;-)

Pinging along just shy of 3k too, not bad from the 20" tube.

Might have to go get another deer with it soon, it probably won't be capable of killing a deer these days tho as the poor old thing doesn't have a carbon fiber stock, fluted bits or even a suppressor.

Nice one man

Off on a venison hunt this weekend on a large bush covered station. Theres plenty of wild sheep around as well. So am taking the 223 as well to head shoot some Christmas lambs. Just doubled checked it's zero. First target is two at 200 yards (zero) 2nd target pic is another 2 shots at 400 yards with 6.5 moa dialed on. Love this little model 7. No excuses now.

Which are the best mounts for the 7 and has anyone had any trigger work done?

Talleys lightweights and a timney trigger

I have Talleys on all my Model 7's, and have just had the factory triggers adjusted and the sear engagement altered. They come up really well if the person knows what they are doing, nice and light and crisp. Mine rifles vary from 1.5 to 2 pounds and make a big impact on ability to shoot well.

I really like the DNZ game reapers as they are a single piece, and theres bugger all to move about. Timney triggers are good but may need a bit of metal removed or tweaking the bolt release to engage proper so the bolt doesnt fall out.
