I pre-paid and waited over two years for a Model 7 in 7-08 Kevlar-camo stock back in the day. This was back when NZ ( pre-1990) was on the outer with the USA and we seemed to be the last country they would send stock to.
It arrived just as my marraige was being disolved and it immediately ( unfired) got sold to divvy up with my ex. There was no chance of hiding it or keeping it as she was well aware it was on it's way.
I sold it to a mate who immediately sold off the barrelled action with his old wood stock off his Model 7 308. He still to this day has it and shows me the stock at every possible opportunity.
I dream of what might have been.
