Well My Model Seven came to me as the wood stocked version with the skinny barrel. I sold the stock and put one that came on a Predator on it and it made a heck of a difference. It's balance point is an inch or so behind the front action screw and is pretty light with it's 3 power Weaver scope. I have no trouble shooting it offhand and recently shot a hog in the face with it offhand at 75 yards. If I were to put a bit more scope on it with a bigger objective I bet it would be right on the front action screw. This rifle really shoots well and I wish I had had it a long time ago. Mine is a 7-08.
