You'll lose 6 oz. from the worst part of the rifle as regards balance and IME closer to 200 fps.
The Chosin Few November to December 1950, Korea. I'm not one of the Chosin Few but no more remarkable group of Americans ever existed.

Does HBB need more deer?
Wife has placed a moratorium on me until the kids get one, or a needed cause comes along.
HBB, send my wife a text saying you're hungry so I can go out and kill something.
I'll even use your right handed Model 70.

Swap some stuff for a Kimber Montana in 7WSM, and you're there with the weight and the performance. Too much money Ergo, the swap. Buy the good schit once, and it's MUCH cheaper. The way my luck runs I would get one of those "special" Kimbers that won't shoot or feed.

Schit's only as hard as you make it, but damned if you don't seem to have a knack for trying like hell to make it that way and then some.

I'll even use your right handed Model 70. Sure, I'll put in a good word with the wife. The 7mag will do fine this morning as long as you don't need a scope or sights.

That rifle HBB is talking about will work fine. With a 160 pill, he should still be able to get close to 2900 fps. if he reloads. Go shoot something with it HBB and post a pic so they will quit giving you a hard time.

If you did, they would all sneak out get a rifle like that.

Chop it, load 175 grain RNs, load down to 2440ish...
That'll work great; just a damned convoluted way to get there, though.
