A good bit less than the older textured stocks. Older was around 1100 grams and the new around 800 odd iirc

I had one in 7mm08 (first rifle).
Shot my first few deer with it.
Only problem it had was such a skinny barrel it heated up after 2 rounds, if shooting at a mob or targets, round 3 onwards could go anywhere. Traded it in on a 700 VTR in 308 which I hated.

Sacrilege!! Never catch me selling my model 7 ��

I Scratched that itch with a semi custom 700. 300win Mag. Blue printed action/bolt ,Heavy weight criterion barrel, ASE supressor , Macmillan stock , tuned trigger, Nathan Foster bedded. Digi cam paint, obligatory choice of Night force optics.
Itch scratched....Now on to light weight rifles.
Even my 10 year old is able to hit 800m gong 1st round.

Should put this here for the record. Updated the 7Saum with March 2.5-25x52.

Anyone using N570 in their model 7 7saum?

N570 don't bother.

Nice. Well trained lad. Bolt open, tape over the end of the barrel and what looks like a thread under the tape for wind direction.

Correct on all accounts Tahr. Thanks for your comments. He's had a few years of training installed

Hey team just looking to get load recipes for 7mm08 and 260s. Finally succumb to the mod 7 and will be getting one soon. Will not be shortening the barrel to less than 18" and will probably leave it standard for now. Seems nosler BTs in 120 & 140 are popular on this thread!

Also anyone have a stug stock that they may sell?

mod 7 in 260. Taking it to sight in this evening with some factory 120gr federals donated from a mate and then will see what I have in the cupboard to load. Have been donated some 120gr Pro hunters but I just need to collect them. Any loads would be appreciated. Staying @ 20" for now but will shorten to 17-18" in future and suppress when I get the green light for a LR build haha
