Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Customized Model 7's - Let's see some

fshaw,
did you use the factory mag box, spring, and follower in your conversion to ADL?
does anybod know if a 700 ADL mag box, spring, and follower can be used?
thanks

I did use the factory mag box, spring and follower. I'm thinking of going to a Wyatt's box. This particular Model 7 never fed perfectly. It's as good as it ever was, but could be better.

My understanding(after talking to Wyatts),is that their mag boxes will not fit the Model 7,Model 700 only.Monashee

I've Custom Seven's in .378",.473" and .532".

Would go Montucky now............

I handled a Remington Model Seven with a 40X stock and
a Lilja .20 Tactictal barrel on it today. Stock was the
older thumbhole design.

Would rather a 700 there.............

Left to right are,Stainless 7 in 308 with a 22 in Mike rock barrel, Stainless 7 in 7 SAUM, Custom shop 7 in 300 SAUM, Mod 7 CDL in 350 Rem mag, and last is an older Mod 7 FS in 7-08.

Fine bunch right there brutha. What style stock on the .308?

Its a Lazzeroni style that I picked up a few years back on the Mcmillan special page for $200. I finally found a #5 Mike rock barrel from mike fletcher on here. Its not quite finished, its going to karl to get coated and then bedded.

MS & FS in 308

Nice, what glass you using on those?

German 1" Zeiss

While not a true custom, here's mine.

M7 LSS with a 20" Pac-Nor barrel, chambered in .358 Win. It's my blacktail thumper. Boy, does it WORK! Not the lightest but I don't care in this case. Love this rifle. Have killed the bulk of my deer with it.

In the picture it has a Leup 2.5-8 on it, which was a nice setup. Now it has a Zeiss 1.8-5.5 in Talley's and I like that even better.

Mebbe THE most compelling anti-Seven Post of All Time.

Though by accident,which do add all sortsa requisite flavoring............

GTH - I thought that was what they were wearing.

Jeff 0, my 7BR was .7 at 21", also Pac-Nor, but the SS action was in a Walnut Deluxe stock, likely about the same weight, portable, but steady, worked well. Found a note, it was 6.0 w/o stock, 8.5 w/4x Pro-Staff. Ironically a 7/08 700V chopped to 21" weighted 6.95 lb so the M7 was about a pound lighter in the bbl.

Alaska Custom Firearms - Remington Model 7 in .338 Federal: Trued & lightened, bolt spiral fluted, rifle basics trigger, Douglas XX 20 in. fluted barrel, back up peep sight w/ NECS universal front, Lone Wolf summit XL stock with Pachmeyer decelerator pad, Leupold VXII Ultra lite scope w/ long range duplex and Nitride finish. Just under 5 lbs. w/ scope.

Awsome rifle !

Stocks VERY light, what taper bbl? Did you not want to drill/tap a 2nd rear hole for the rear base like the later mfg. M7s? Or was that the only way to set up your peep?

Very nice little 338. How does it shoot?

The rear base is drill/tapped with two screw holes one is under the peep itself. Everything was done to get as light as possible.

It shoots very well. Federal fusions will print under an inch 3 shot groups and 185gr TTSX will do just a tad better at 2700fps. My buddies 15 yr old boy crumpled a decent little bull moose with it last year. Picture is stuck to gun holder.

I'm planning on building my own lightweight some time this year but going to go with a 700 action in 280ackly, hoping to get it down to under 6 1/2 pounds.

Lone Woof sucks,as do a scope you can Limbo beneath.

Paying for an eggshell,is false economy on lotsa levels..............
