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.

SuperKchunt,

At least you can "afford" to "live" vicariously,glued to my every word and Splendid Pixel...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Pardon my simply shooting it all and then some. Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............

I see you got an AK as well. You lucky dog you!

SuperKchunt,

I don't AK,though I do HK and them differences are beyond stark...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Google as you must,as you "live" vicariously. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Looks like yours shoots "minute of mud puddle."

I wouldn't go in that puddle if I were you. Probably over your head deep.

SuperKchunt,

91's are beyond Skookum and you "get" to read about it and gawk the Splendid Pixels...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............

I don't own one, nor do I want one just for the sake of posting pics.

I just don't need that level of affirmation that comes from bragging about all my stuff as some do.

SuperKchunt,

I simply like to shoot and of a magnitude that you can't even fhuqking begin to fathom...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Fortunately for you and your ilk,Imagination and Pretend are free,so even YOU can "afford" to "contribute",though only with stolen pictures. Hint.

Now you can say you've "seen" a Marvel Unit One,which makes this a VERY Big Day for you. Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Have a great weekend Stick olde boy.

I'll leave this pic for you to gaze upon. Picked it up a while back.

SuperKchunt,

Pardon my being exceptionally fluent in all things Seven,as you Google your Dreams aloud and steal pics...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint. Congratulations?!?



Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............

Both are Leupold 2.5-8x36s.

Adequate for the intended use which is stands/blinds with vast majority of shots at under 200yds. Used the .350RM on Friday down in OK:

Thanks!

Last time I checked with wildcat he would not sell to the states. I was looking at his stock for a model seven. Pretty sure that was last year when I contacted them about a stock.

While not a M7, but a 700 with EH 8 and barrel finished at 21”. Give a good idea of what a 7 would look like in it.

Thanks for the pic!! That really helps me out with my decision. My model seven has the 18 1/2" barrel, but I think it'll look great in an EH8.

Is there any kind of "grip" molded into the EH8 at the hand grip and forearm?

BTW, great looking rifle!!

If you have a good looking walnut stock that you are trying to get rid of, I’m your huckleberry.

No checkering but if you order a painted stock, it has nice texture. The problem is Manners seems to have dropped the EH8 as an option.

7mm-08 FS

Good looking stock. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for the offer, but this was my first deer rifle & was given to me by my Mom & Dad. I'll be keeping the walnut stock
I think it was about 35 years ago when he & my Mom kept me out of school for a day to go shopping for a new deer rifle for him. I never caught on why he had me handle/try every rifle he looked at until we got to the model 7 and he said "it's for you!".

I noticed that last night while looking at Manners website. No EH8 to be found.

Very nice!! Is it dipped? What scope base is that? One piece?

It’s all Cerakote, even the stock. Those are DNZ rings/bases and yes they are all one piece. I had the 4th hole drilled and tapped.

Talented cerakote job!! I haven't heard of DNZ rings/bases. I'll have to look into them.
