I must 'fess up: I still need to get a Model Seven. My original thought was to go with an original with the Schnabel forend in wood; perhaps in .223; but with the stock channeled out for a Bull Bbl. Then I started fantasizing about a 'Mini-Sniper' in some other caliber, and that's where I stopped. My mind was warped...
This 'Forest Combat' style I see here is very well done and interesting. I don't know yet which Model Seven I will eventually end up with. The thread has some very good information regarding the bbl. contours, though. I did not know that; thank you!
I do believe I will consider this as my next rifle project.
