Model 70 Coyote, very good condition, will run me right at $450.
Should I buy it?
Any advantage over the 7mm Rem Mag?

If I had an accurate 7 rem mag than I would pass the 7 wsm. If I were starting from scratch a 7 wsm would interest me some? I don't see the advantage over the 7 rem mag. It might make a great build in .300 wsm.

If I were going to buy a 7mm in a short action I'd go with the SAUM.
However $450 isn't a bad price and would be a good time tuning it up. If you decide you don't like it you could always unload it down the road for at least what you gave for it. I'd buy it just for something to mess with during the off season.

If it's a push feed the price sounds about right.
It ain't all burritos and strippers my friends...

I love my Featherweight and almost bought an identical rifle over the summer. The new rifle had an egg shaped chamber which was common towards the end of Winchester's production. Use caution and demand the right to return the rifle if needed.

I just had to buy a 7mm WSM as soon as they came out to get away from the terrible belted cartridges.
My first was a M70 SS with a Syn stock. It shot ok at first but then became less accurate.
It's gone.
Make sure the chamber is round. They say WW over tightened the barrels into the actions and some of the chambers went out of round.
Also make sure you have plenty of ammo and good brass. The brass is not available?

Any advantage over the 7mm Rem Mag? Cabela's has a Coyote here in 243 with a basic Tasco on it for 699.00 I'd get that the 7mm and not think twice about it.

I confirmed the 'zero' on my Kimber 7mm WSM today. It put two 168 gr VLD's into an inch at 200 yds.
The group was about an inch lower than what I want.
I am going to leave it be and check it again, as is, later in the week.

Buy it. I really like the round and that sounds like a good deal.

Make sure it's chamber is round and it comes with plenty of 7mm WSM brass! I have 270 WSM's in my shirt pocket now. That Kimber Montana WSM is shooting well. The bullet is the 150 gr SST. ![[Linked Image]](https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/284x213q90/r/340/dsc00068jpgejpgeepi5.jpg)

Buy it, then rebarrel to a 6.5 SAUM. Mine has 3200 rounds through it and still drills...

P.V. What's it like to be at the mercy of your own faculties? I bet, and this is just a hunch, that the OP might be able to scratch up a case or two of .300 WSM brass and neck it down. He might even get to use some of that false shoulder voodoo magic on account of the 7 WSM having a longer case head to shoulder length.
