Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Any pics of Model Sevens in McMillan stocks?

I have a model seven in 7mm-08 with the factory 18 1/2” barrel that I would like to put in a McMillan. Was wondering if y’all had any pics of similar short barrel model sevens in McMillan stocks? I’m trying to figure out what model stock(s) would look good with the short barrel.

Top one was 22”, bottom was 18.5” I hate long forends on short barreled rifles. I would go KS, FS or wildcat on a 18.5”

What are KS, FS, and wildcat stocks?

The lower picture is a KS, it was offered by brown precision, and later mcmillan - they also came on the custom shop “KS” model 7’s.

The FS was made by brown precision (I think) and came on the model 7FS in what I believe was the late 80’s or early 90’s.

Wildcat is a composite stock maker up here in Canada, his will be the lightest offering, but come as a blank that needs finishing.

I could be wrong, but I believe you can still order the FS and KS from brown precision. I have no idea what mcmillan will or won’t do anymore.

Here is a wildcat m7 stock (700 ti, so the barrel is actually 22” )



And here is another wildcat m7 I put on a 600 with a 20” pipe.

I’ve finished 15-20 wildcat m7 stocks and finished including paint, bedding, studs and a 0.8” decelerator they finish at 19oz +/- 0.5 oz

Thanks so much for all the information. I had not heard of wildcat stocks before. Good looking and lightweight stocks for sure.

Have been unobtainium in the US for several years now.

Really like the top rifle!

If it helps this is the Brown Precision FS stock offered in the leaf camouflage pattern circa 1989 on the Model Seven ( 18 1/2 barrel )

Will Wildcat make the forend shorter if requested?

Here's a Manners EH8 on a Model Seven, from Manners' site. Not sure on the barrel length of that particular rifle, but the forearm length on the EH8 compliments a shorter barrel.

I’ve never asked Paul, I would guess that he would if asked. If you go down that road, be sure to specify where you want the aluminum swivel stud block at the same time. However that mold was made in the early days when all the m7’s were 18.5”, so I don’t think you would need to shorten it for aesthetic reasons.

Thanks ...... I don't much like bbls shorter than 20" anyways.

Sights on a short bbl rifle help make it look "right" too.

Yep, the EH8 or EH8+ is a nice compact stock and the comb is high enough to work with a rail/rings setup.

I've got 2 of them on M7s, my .260 and a .350RM. The comb height is about perfect for a scope and the forearm is just the right length for a 20" barrel.

.260



.350RM:

I really like that Manners. Depending on weight I think I like it best so far.

Chuck R, what scopes are on your rifles?

Seven's are an EASY pass,from any/all angles. Hint.

Pass the Montucky and hold The Fluff. Hint...................

Just sayin'. Hint.................

Thank-you ever so much for that insight.

Your thoughtful advice saved us all a lot of pain and anguish.
