The problem I had with the Model 7 I had was the mag length was far too short and the throat too long to seat the 6.5/120g bullets (260 Remington) out close to the lands like I wanted them. Due to this, I never could get it to shoot as well as I wanted so it went down the road. I have other rifles that will shoot the heavier bullets and I wanted the 260 as a coyote rifle. Just didn't work out for me. With a rebarrel and the right dummy round for the smith to use, he could set it up for any round you want to load IMO....
