I've got my dad's old Model 7 in 308. It isn't very accurate and because it's pretty light, it definitely let's you know you pulled the trigger. I'd like to get a new barrel on it too convert it to 7mm08 for my kids to shoot deer when they are ready. I already ordered a youth stock for it. I've never had a new barrel put on a rifle before and I am not exactly sure where to start. One thing that seems somewhat confusing to me is all the different contours out there.
I'm thinking a 20", 1-9 twist, threaded for a brake or suppressor.
How would you set it up? I just want to make sure this is set up smartly.
Thanks!
I would take that rifle to a gunsmith to find out what the problem is. He should be able to find the issue and then you can shoot lighter bullets in it. That is the least expensive route to take.
