I got some pictures of my 7mm MSM.. Gotta say I'm pretty excited to get it into my paws. Can't wait to get it out and form some cases up.

Sweet, looks much better here than on that bandaide sized screen on my flip phone. Midway has the excellent Hornady 300 Win Mag cases in stock, thinking bout getting some of them for my 300, the W-W brass has about had it.

Saying that, Hornady 300 Win Mag has worked really darned well for good accurate loads. It might be a coin toss...

Looks like a Pre '64 M 70 action. Yup... I can't remember the year of manufacture but it was gone thru pretty well. Would have used a Classic in a heartbeat but I was able to snag this for the same money.. Ol Bob said it's a no brainer then!

It'll get the 3x9 SS HD I've got hanging around right now. Thank you Looks like a sweet rig! Apologize for the ignorant question, but what is MSM? It's the 7mm Mashburn Super Magnum. Pretty similar to a 7-300 Win Mag.

It's a Bartlein 1B that was contoured a little to a Krieger #2, 1-8 twist and finished at 25".
I went with Blackburn BM on this one.
Hope to put an elk or deer under it this fall..

What does it weigh? It's an Edge fill and weighs 6lbs 12ozs as it sits. To be totally honest, I copied Bobs rifle for the most part. Mine has an inch longer barrel but that is about it. I figured why recreate the wheel. His was excellent as it was.
