I'm also a big fan of the Model 7. I've been SORELY tempted by last year's run of Model 7 6mms! It just seems like the 6mm Rem really needs a longer barrel though.

My 6mm Rem is built on a VZ-24 action with a 22" barrel....it shoots tiny little groups with 55 grain bullets and I've mostly left it that way.....it's taken over my 22-250 as my primary varming rifle.

I have used it for deer with Hornady 100 grain interlocks and it's just fine for that.

If I could find a Model 7 with even a 20" barrel in 6mm, I'd give it serious consideration.....The short action and barrel wouldn't bother me a bit......but I already have one and it's a definite keeper.
