You realize the aftermarket mag box designs long enough to allow a 260 to work properly with VLD bullets won't fit a Remington Model Seven?
Yep sure do.
Didn't talk about the aftermarket ones though did I?
JFC. Good luck getting a Model Seven to be "no more or less successful than a 700" when it won't feed proper 260 ammo. Building it as a single shot means a specialized, useless rifle for any form of practical use.
Other problems include a pissant rear action screw that will need opened up. Many Model Sevens only have 3 scope mount screws, which will need remedied. Like Stick mentioned, the scope mounting latitude is severely limited as well.
If you're building a lw rifle, maybe these problems won't seem like a big deal. But for a heavier, long range type build,
which is the entire point of this thread......these are details which make a Model Seven a poor choice indeed.
