Doesn't seem like I see a lot of people building off of the Winchester Model 70 WSM actions. I have a New Haven Coyote in 300 WSM and I am thinking of building a 7mm WSM off of it with a Brux #4 or #5 contour 26" tube.
Settled on a 270 WSM with the Model 7 with 22" barrel.

I like the M70 WSM action due to the factory mag box being 3”. My 6.5SAUM is built off one and feeds great also. I’d have Redneck build you a 7SAUM in a #4 and I’m sure it will shoot. Make sure he tunes the trigger also.
I am not interested in any SAUM round, I have plenty of brass for either the 270 WSM or 7MM WSM along with dies.
I appreciate the suggestions, nd I have had Redneck work on one WSM action for me, he tuned it up nice. I will reach out to him about this rifle build.
Thanks

I am. Just bought a .325 WSM here as a donor for a 7mm WSM.
Plan on a rebarrel with an 8 twist, custom chamber for 180 ELD.
Save time and money. Get a pre-64 M-70 action and the finished product will be worth more.
The WSM idea from Winchester was an Edsel idea. Failed. Just like stopping production of the Rifleman's Rifle-early Model 70 corporate CEOs and lawyers can gum the works.
A 338 WM or 300 W or H&H-- even a Weatherby cartridge on the M-70 action is better. WSMs are now trail dust. 338-06 IMP or 35 Whelen Improved.

I’ve used quite a few of the WSM actions (Winchester) and they work very well. Internal mag length is 3.050” and one of the best options for the WSM round I think.

The 270 WSM is easy but one of the 6.5s would be nice, not sure if they edge out the 7mm but recoil would be milder. If you wanted to get Looney a 9.3 WSM could be interesting.
