I thought no one would ever ask  I have a 2.5x8 Leupold that goes on top. I can't say enough how much I like this rifle. I bought it at a very good price (2ndwind found it at a gunshop for me- thanks again John) and after carrying it a few times, I knew it was a keeper and worthy of Kampfeld's goodness.![[Linked Image]](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h50/Sakoluvr/Fluted1.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h50/Sakoluvr/Fluted2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h50/Sakoluvr/Fluted3.jpg)

skybuster20ga,
Wow! You really have some nice 35 cal rifles. Though I'm fairly new to reloading, I've found the 350 Mag easy to load for. I've gotten good hunting accuracy without much fuss. Reloading for this caliber greatly increases its flexibility, mostly due to the lack of factory ammo offerings. Good luck in your reloading efforts. If I can do it, anyone can.
RJM,
+1 on the Lee Factory Crimp Die. Though the 350 Mag requires a custom order from Lee, it was well worth it. im not an expert reloader by any means myself. i dont really have any input towards the reloading threads but i learn a pile! as far as my .35's go, its a rather small collection really. accumulated over the years. the 750 35 whelen i needed like i need a hole in the head but i ordered it out of impulse. i actually kinda traded that to my ol man for a T/C encore katahdin 50 cal. from the custom shop! but my ol man likes that 750, i think it takes him back to his first deer rifle, the 740...he has shot a couple deer w/ it in the last couple years since they came out. not really any good bullet data though as he smoked them both in the head.

Sakoluvr...so tell me about the bolt...that isn't standard for a 7KS that I can remember...
I have a 2.5-8 Lupy just waiting for a 7KS.
Beautiful rifle...

Kampfeld does the bolts like that.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

sakoluvr,
Nice paint job. I don't think the Remington Custom Shop did that paint job.
Do you know who did?

I had carl kampfeld do everything for me. I purchased the rifle in original factory condition (see my post at the end of the 1st page).

...well it has been a while since anyone posted on this thread but would rather revive the "dead" than rehash starting a new one... Thanks to Ken (Firearms44) I will soon take delivery of a M7 KS!!! He found it over on GunBroker with a VERY cheap BuyNow so I punched it...I owe Ken for two lunches..one for finding it and the second for letting me buy it out from under him... This one has the all gray stock and matte finish instead of polihed blue...sights are missing but it comes with a Leupold base...that will be replaced with a Weaver rail of some sort. Scope will be a 1.5-5 or 1.75-6 Leupold. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=158323759Bob

Good deal. Why the Weaver Rail? I love the Talley's on mine.

A) Consistancy..all my guns that are not Ruger have Weaver bases. Only have to have one style of rings hanging around.
B) Return to zero when detached. If it is raining it is nice to take the scope off and hunt with the open sights or drop on one of the NECG peep sights...scopes goes back to zero or I can carry an extra scope all set up.
C) Eazy to get replacemnt parts anywhere.
Funny but I just went over to the Remington Custom Shope site...the M7 KS is no longer listed...were they dropped?

A) Put Talleys on all your rifles and you will only have one style of rings "hanging around". Do you collect rings?
B)I can't imagine removing a scope because it is raining, much less putting it back on when it stops raining.
C)Replacement parts for what? Has something broke in the past? Having problems finding other rings? One piece base/ring combo (Talley) is kinda strong, no?
I am not saying Talleys are the only way to go. Just sayin your argument for a Weaver rail is weak. Can't imagine your Rem custom shop wearing a Weaver rail.......Just me, YMMV

When it is raining or snowing to the point that seeing through a scope is risky, yes, I do take it off... Only has happened a few times but it has happened.
I should also explain I have a firearms accessory business so I'm constantly mounting scopes and sighting in rifles for friends and customers...Weaver just makes things simple.
Tally makes a great ring but Weaver style bases are just more versatile...

Nice find Bob. A bunch of punch in a great, accurate package. Don't be afraid to try some Remington factory ammo as a baseline. It's far more accurate than most are willing to believe.

The other three .350s I have had(have)all shoot under MOA. I do have several boxes of 200s and even one or two of the 250s.
Have never shot any of the 250s as they are just too rare and not replaceable but the 200s shoot right along with my handloads...

Hunted with one of the Mcmillan stocked versions for 5 seasons. The best factory rifle I ever had. That stock is just sweet and the entire package has great balance.It had the best factory trigger I've seen to this day.It would just slay game in their tracks. Once I had my .358 built I ran them against each other at the range a few times and then sold the .350 . I think the Custom KS 350 is the best over the counter do it all type rifle available.

Since Remington doesn't see fit to make the beautiful little M7 in a left hand version I had to settle for the M700KS.
Well not really settle since it is the finest rifle I've ever owned, with a superb trigger, glass smooth action, beautiful gloss bluing, and a Brown Precision Kevlar stock that fits me perfectly.
Oh, and it's slim 24" barrel is chambered in the finest cartridge to come out of the 20th century, the 270 Winchester!!!
I have always thought the M7 with the sweet mannlicher stock is the best looking rifle I've ever seen.
No left hand version though so I'll never own one.

I guess my 700 KS in .35 Whelen is pretty close. I've always had a fondness for 700's, and this one is awfully sweet. All the comments above about the action, trigger, etc., certainly apply to this rifle.
I can't think of a better setup for a mountain rifle, but I'm still having a hard time burying my proclivity toward wood/blue rifles.
