Zebra is always a viable option, but carbon is more badassier. Hard to designee total Coolier.

i'm trying to decide on a stock for my latest (7mm-08 LSS)

McM M7 KS unpainted Edge maybe... i have two in MR stocks and really like them except the forearm kinda dwarfs the skinny 20" Sporter barrels.

bottom two in this pic.

no...i looked around a little bit, but that track was a day or so old and he may have been in Wyoming by then. one of these days they'll come in to use my lab for a squeak toy and i'll thin the pack.

[Linked Image]Been experimenting all evening trying to get to where I can post a pic. Thanks mink for making it sound so easy. Wife figured out how to get it done. I'll never remember.
Anyway, here's my M7. Early gun born as a 223. Jack Foster of Bozeman, MT (Precision International) converted it to 7TCU with a 20" Douglas bbl and shortened the stock to 11" so that his grandkids could shoot silhouette with it. He sold it to me with 100 rounds of 162gr loads. With a 4X leupold it shoots well under 1" at 100yds. Never did chrono them loads but have since rolled my own with 120NosBTs and some milsurp powder. Gives 2620fps with that load.
Sorry for the crummy pic, just beginning this photo post thing.

I haven't measured my groups but I have just been using Federal Premium Barnes TSX 165gr and I am very pleased. Should be able to take anything up here in the North woods.

I would be proud enough to show it too.You did a fine job on the stock.

I'm hesitant to mention it but,the only thing is the mounts are too tactical looking on such a classic rifle for my taste.

I know, I may eventually change them out blush. I wanted to go with something study enough since it's a 3 hole mounting system and also something that would bring the scope up enough to clear the rear sight. sickThanks for the compliment. I really like this old girl....and it's nice running a left hand bolt, kind of feels natural...

Here's my contribution to the thread.
A vanilla plain .260 with a Leupold 2-7x28 compact.
Forgot what year, but bought it when .260's became available in Model Sevens.
To me, it's the perfect Eastern sneaking around rifle.

1997 was the first year production like yours.

I've hunted quite a bit with the exact same setup you show there. Works well enough in flyover country too!
