M7 CDL in .22-250

Leupold VXIII 1.5-5X ( Since replaced with a 2x7)

I have two a 260 & a 308 SS planned on turning the 308 into a 358win. but made the mistake of shooting it.
Both shoot very well -sorry no pictures I'm too sick with sore throat to mess with it.
Here's a couple of threads I found with plenty of Model Seven pictures and talk .

This is my daughter's Model 7 CDL .260. We removed the wood stock and dropped the action in a Bell & Carlson. It's a shooter and she's harvested some nice deer with it.

My two favorite hunting rifles are Model 7's. Both actions have been squared up, lapped, fitted with new barrels,(One is a Pac Nor and the other is a Hart, don't ask me which is which.) triggers and HS Precision Stocks. All the mods were done by a Pro. The rifle on the left is a 338 Federal I've posted on the Fire before. The rifle on the right is a 260 Remington. Both will shoot better than I can and the two cartridges cover about anything I'm likely to run into that needs a centerfire rifle.

7mm Saum in a M700 SPS takeoff stock that I modded to fit. Gun shoots most any bullet you run through it less than a inch.

Any idea on the weight with those HS stocks?

Soloman, the 338 Fed is the closest one to the original size of the Model 7. It weighs 7.5 lbs empty, with a Leupold VX II 2X7 scope and steel mounts. It has a barrel that is probably one size bigger than the original 308 barrel and about an inch longer.

I wasn't going for light weight hunting rifles with the two Model 7's, but ones that were accurate, reliable, comfortable to carry and shoot. I had some heavy rifles and if the Model 7's gained a little weight in the conversion, but still came in at less than 8 lbs ready to hunt, I was going to be happy. I picked the HS Precision because it has a feel that is fuller and rounder than some other stocks I've tried.

Hope this helps.

Top is a FS in .243
Bottom is a KS in .350 mag.

I wanted an SS 350 Mag and Ruger hadn't come out with theirs yet so I built this on a 300 SAUM action. PACNOR matched the short mag contour. I'd like to find a KS stock to put it in! Sold the MS because the stock couldn't handle our weather.

That 7o8 laying in the snow has a short tube. Mine has a 19" and I haven't shot it yet. How's yours shooting?

All nice rigs yall have! I'm gonna keep hittin the yard sales in hopes of finding a killer deal on a stock for mine

Ingue,
The CDL stock in your photo is that standard rem mod 7?

I would like to get hold of one if it is, building a 300 sav on a rem 700 action, I have a classic take off barrel and I was thinking that shortened to rem 7 barrel length in a stock like that would be just what i'm looking for

.308 win

Yes, it is a standard issue. once in a long while you'll see one advertised in the classifieds here.

Can you give me your specs on the 358 Win? I have the light weight thumper thread started above and I've about decided on a Model 7 in 358 Win.
