I have a Model 7 made with a 22" Pac-Nor barrel and a 15oz stock from MPI in Portland, Oregon. Caliber is 250 AI and I love it. Had the trigger spruced up and set a 2.5lbs. More accurate than I am. Seems to do everything the way it should and I couldn't be much happier. It's just a dream to shoot. Go for it.
i have a Model 7 in .250savage , also Pac-Nor w/ 20" tube, mountain rifle contour....and it too sits in an MPI stock.......and, also have a remmy custom shop model Model 7KS in .250Savage, which IIRC had belonged to 257Heaven.....
Not sure why i have both, i guess if one is good, then too many is just right.
They are a pleasure to carry & shoot, and the kill stuff nicely.
