That's my feeling & opinion too.

I've also read here on the fire that the main problem with the M 7 is the factory stock. 'They' say an aftermarket stock makes them feel better. I don't doubt that. How could they feel worse?

Purchased a M7 stainless the same year Remington chambered the 'new' .260 rem. Figgered it to be the perfect mountain rifle. Just couldn't warm to it. My son used it a while before I sold it. Bought a Tikka T3 8 twist 260 and then a 700 260 when Remington got smart and twisted the 260 right. Love them both, with a bit of a preference to the 700. Just feels good and shoots great. These have become my favorite deer rifles.
