Here is mine. Just got it a few months ago. Its the new Mdl 7 Synthetic in 7mm-08. Im still in the process of working up a load for it. Hopefully it will be ready to go by the first part of October for antelope season. DT I ordered one just like it on a VIP form...except in .223..of course....destined to be the official truck gun...

Hopefully yours will be easier to get to shoot than this SOB is. Ive about had it but for some reason or another, Ive convinced myself I need to keep this one and keep trying and do whatever I need to do to get it to shoot. Within reason of course(if there actually was such a thing for a rifle looney!)

If anyone has a KS style stock for the Model 7 (round pistol grip knob, cheekpiece, usually gray or gray camo), I am interested in buying it. Let me know.

I hafta park them as far back as they can get to accomodate my coke-bottle glasses... I could understand the Burris scopes needing to hang back, but your glasses must be really special to need those 1.5-5x20 Leupolds hanging back there too.

beautiful little 6pt 161 lbs my wife got last year up here in maine. her first deer, her first year hunting, first time out, 1 1/2 hrs in, still hunting along behind me. .350 rem. mag 200 gr horn. RN 2400fps thats an exit hole your looking at, he was bedded down and she hit him in the chest almost head on. thought i would add that before i get ripped on for a piss poor shot lol My youngest, Connor, took his first whitetail with a Seven CDL in .350RM just like yours. Man, I wish I'd bought that one from the factory!

To use "as is" or to build around?
The early polished blue CM and walnut style?
If to build around, sometimes it can be a little more expensive to build on a 7 than a 700 because of the smaller pool of after-market parts.

Should I? Yes. My father has the same gun and his will group under 1" all day with 150gr Speer SP over IMR4064.
I don't drink or Smoke. I spend my money on gunpowder and gasoline.

Anyone have a synthetic or laminated take off. My 13 year grandson has outgrown his youth stock and needs one a little longer. His has got the 18" skinny barrel and I don't know if they made a full length synthetic or laminated for that contour? Please PM me with what you have and what you have got to get for it,
Thanks 6MMWASP

Is the AI running a factory tube? Looks like you're a M7 connoisseur.

tkinak nice 350. The factory stock pattern for this rifle fits me well. I originally put an Edge MR pattern on my 7-08, just didn't feel right, sold it and ordered the one it wears now.

I recently tried a Model 7 for the first time and it quickly became my favorite rifle of all time. Schnabel forend and all, it fits me like a glove. Specs are 308 / McMillan M7 stock / #4 Krieger @ 20". I see something very similar but chambered in 223 in the near future.
