Full tilt Mark Penrod 7mm Remington Mag in a pre-64 with a Legend Stock. Should do for just about anything in NA. Will try to get the specs up later.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Fixing these holes happens to be one of Mark's specialties and the action work is pure perfection now. The action was completely trued, the bolt and safety timed, raceways cleaned up, trigger job etc. I think the only thing he didn't do was recut the lettering on the action. Barrel is an older #4 contour Mike Rock barrel that I've had since back in the days when Mike was still there. 8.6 twist if I recall correctly. Mark recontoured it just slightly to clean/slick it up and take the lumps out. Chamber was cut based on Mark's recommendations and spec'ed for the 180 VLDs I want to run. Since we had lots of room in the mag box Mark was able to optimize the chamber with the bullets seated well out. Mark also cut a Wilson seating die blank to match the chamber for me. Everything was ceracoated with a satin midnight blue. Stock is an Echols legend edge fill bedded with flush cups and a red pachmayr pad and then sent back to McMillan for paint. Talleys and a Schmidt 3x12 top it off. Can't wait to get it out and try it. Check out my new website http://www.howemtnknives.com/

It's a pre 64, so I have no doubt it will function for the life of the owner.... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

A classic action, barreled and modified by Penrod, in a Legend Edge, in a long throated 7 Rem mag. I think my barrel contour might be a little different, however. I also had the tang reshaped and the bolt release built up and checkered. It has become my go-to rifle over the past several years, so I expect yours will be as well.
