Stainless model 7s are back in production and shipping fwiw. I picked up a 308 and a 7-08 in the past month. 7s are my favorite rifles...couldn't help but another couple to the stable.

One of my favorite post. To bad we've lost some of the pics. Here's a .308 Winchester Model Seven with a VX-2 2-7x33. Loaded with Nosler 125 gr. Accubonds to just shy of 3,000 fps. 1" 3 - shot groups at 100 yards are the norm. My plan was to trick it out with stock and trigger upgrades, but it's perfect to me as is. So I'll leave it factory. Years ago Model Seven's were my go to rifle for climbing portable stand hunting, light and compact. The M-7 doesn't seem to fit some folks, its my favorite

I have a love/hate relationship with my Model 7. It's perfect for my jaunts in the Deep South but finicky. It fits me very well and kills everything I have pointed it at. Doesn't shoot great groups but is fine for my usual 10-200 yard shots on game. I've been thru a couple stocks and think I've got it like I want it now. B&C Alaskan II stock, Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x36, DNZ Mount, Timney trigger. Current setup: Previous setup:

My Grandson's 30Br that I built 15 years ago. Shilen barrel, Jewell trigger, and Brown Precision stock. Another Grandson's 6X47L Same components as his cousin's rifles except it does not have a Jewell.

I have posted the Model 7 in 338 Fed on the left before, the Model 7 on the right is in 260 Remington. I really like the HS Precision stocks. Neither has the original barrel. The 338 Fed is a Hart barrel and the 260 is a fluted Pac-Nor Barrel.

My dad lusted after this rifle for years , specifically in .243 . He finally found exactly what he was looking for in a shop one day and bought it . Started working up handloads with his favorite bullet (85gr Sierra Gameking HPBT,he swore by it ) , shooting it on a 25 yard range in his yard . He had a heart attack on July 4th and passed away that year, never hunted the rifle . I finished the load workup a few years back . Intent it be hunted . My sis went on a hunt and I sent it with her , and she took a doe . I used it exclusively last year so I could say I'd done it in tribute to him . It's back in the safe waiting on my brother to bloody it . He's coming home for Christmas and plans to hunt .

If I could only have one bullet for a 243, it would be the 85 grain Sierra HPBT. It will flat give a coyote a dirt nap, and it ain't too shabby on deer either.

After watching his success with it over the years , in another 243 .... it's the only bullet I've ever needed.

I'm pretty sure without looking at it again that it's 3screw . I know when he purchased it , it was "new old stock " hidden in the back of a gun store for a very long time. He bought it January 2010 and passed in July . I guessed the rifle was made 2000 ish though . It's accurate enough , and very consistent . Going to be a good one for my kids to get started with

Mine started as a 7-08 LSS. I had it rebarreled to .358. It's in a B&C Alaskan stock now, too... Swaro 3-10x42 AV in Talleys.
