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.

and a .223AI at the bottom of this pile, wearing black/yellow.

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

Johno

.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.

I don't surpose you want to put an after market stock on that rifle, happy to help by buying your stock. I know, I know, i'm just a warm human being LOL

Johno

R H Clark - Sent you a PM on Specs.

Ken

Damn that's nice! I'm usually not much for light colored rifles,but that's cool.

Never had a M7. Might have to do something bout that.

Alaska Lanche that is a beauty! Those black rings and scope caps though......haha. Personal preference.

I have posted this picture a few times but it's still one of my favorite rifles. 243 with a 24" take off from an SPS. This thing is way more accurate than I am, but I am working on that. Everything but the action and rings/bases were purchased from members here on the 'fire.

Got a question on the M 7,how is it different than the SA M 700?

http://rifleshooter.com/2015/05/remington-model-seven-and-700-comparison/

Thanks Hank.

No problem. Way easier seeing pictures than having someone like myself try to explain it all. I am 5'9" and I find the ergonomics of the model 7 to be perfect for me.

Tossing the idea around of buying a M 7 in 6mm Rem and re-barreling it to .22/6mm. The .22/6mm I own right now weighs darn close to 11 lbs with bi-pod on it. Want a rifle that's 3-4 lbs lighter.

That .243 of yours is kinda what I'm thinking of.

You should have no problem getting it to where you want it weight wise. I could shave some weight with a stock from McMillan, but it shoots so well that now I am hesitant to change anything. I personally really like the longer barrel, I can shoot it really well offhand and it adds a bit in velocity. It is slightly barrel heavy but the wood stock helps offset that a little.

I just want to re-barrel and then go kill coyotes with it.

Not wanting to spend a serious amount of money on the project. So whatever stock comes with the rifle,that'll be the one I'll use.

Have a more expensive project waiting in the wings.

I think you will like it, makes a perfect carry rifle for calling. The synthetic ones aren't bad at all.

The synthetic would be the one I want. Just got to find a 6mm Rem in a synthetic stock.

Good luck in your search! I will keep my eye out.

Thanks.

Hank Id like to have one something like yours in a 22 inch Bbl.....


Hmmmmmm......

That is a sweet looking firearm.

That rifle harvested 2 deer and a wolf for me this year. :-) Why the shorter barrel?

Cause Ive already got a .243 with a 24 inch Bbl....and Im a gun slut....

Are not,you never show up at the meetings!

Mod 7 .222.
Factory .222 barrel switched out to a heavier Hart Barrel (saved factory bbl.).

Shoots Great !!

.260

There are meetings? Please don't invite me

Just curious, but if you're going to rebarrel, why would you start with a less common, more expensive, donor in 6mm? Lots more 243s, 7mm-08s, and 308s out there that would allow you to launch at a lower price.

Perhaps the least economical build that I've seen on a Model Seven action was a guy who bought a 7 laminated mannlicher for the action and then sold the barrel and stock for $150.

Yup,a .243,7/08 or .308 would be a lot cheaper to start with.

Your name comes up regularly.

Do too...


I'm just out in the parking lot trying to score some deals with the other members.....

You'd be too busy at your " Scope Sluts Anonymous" meetings anyway...

That explains the leopard print canopy outside.

Only one I have "in-house" at the moment, (unless I forgot, which is quite common these days)



Remington Model 7, 6 x 47. McMillian stock. Bill Davidson smithed it. A sweet shooter with the 70 gr. Sierra Blitz and 80 gr. TTSX.

JAPPFT,


GWB

I quit that group, I don't have a problem.........

Cold turkey MM.

You'll be back MM.

GeeDub,that's a sweet pea-shooter you have there.

Denial is the first sign of a problem.

No denial here

Denial of denial is the second sign....

What's the third?

The third sign is...you fall off the wagon.

Damn

Yup.

Unless you're a gun slut,then you just pick up from where you went on the wagon.

I tried to order one of those McMillans but they had just quit making them, cool!
