    Got the model 7 all done. Load development starts tomorrow. Hopefully done by Sunday and can go verify. Total weight with Sightron S3 6x24 is 3511g.
    7mmsaum. The saum isnt the best round for the model 7 with the short mag. Its a hunting rifle so want to mag feed.

    Is that a Ken Henderson/Hi-Tec stock?

    Did you have to bed it?

    Looks great!

    Is anyone running a Leupold VX5HD 2-10 on their Model 7 with Talley rings (30mm tube)?? If so, what height rings did you use to give enough barrel clearance?

    Am looking at changing from a Z3, so if anyone has photos of that set-up, it would be much appreciated.

    Used Talley 30mm low with a 50mm obj on my 700 and had clearance, but not used them on my mod 7(weaver bases and contessa 30mm low), but it should be fine?

    Very nice ��
    Interesting the comment about the mag length, my model 7 saum shot best at mag length with everything I tried, both at 22” and now 17.5”. 160tmk seem to work well at a sedate 2745 with a 2” exit at 130yds

    You might find this an interesting comparison. My Model 7 7mm SAUM after putting it on a diet.

    As you say theres not much savings in the metal work really.

    But big savings in the stock, i went from the older stippled plastic stock weighing about 1100 grams to a Stug (bloody shame Stu's not making them anymore) which is a touch over 500 grams.

    Stock barreled action




    Flutted barrel and bolt, skeltonised bolt handle. Standard 22" rem factory Saum barrel just flutted.




    Stug stock




    Complete bare rifle.







    With Talley rings and a 4-20x50 Sightron S-tac it weighs 3.1kg. Which is the reason that if im on a walk in hunt this is the rifle i nearly always take, the heavier longer 28N normally only ventures out on true LR private land quad based hunts, or short walk front country stuff.

    Its just as happy shooting a deer in the bush as it is at 700 yards.

    162 Amax @3,050 fps

    I love this old girl.

    Here's my Model 7 in 7mm08. Not as fancy as most on here but a keeper for me nonetheless. Got it for $800 as my first rifle 2 years ago and has been doing the work since.

    Really like the shape of that bolt knob... can you tell me what it is or did you make it yourself?
