Any picture or blueprints out there? I just aquired a Model 7 stainless synthetic in 7/08 and am wondering where to go with it?
Why is it called a double u, should'nt it be called a double v?

Bumblebee, #1 SS Pac-Nor 1-8" twist, 21" in McMillan Mountain Rifle stock, 223AI Pretty much all factory, except I had the MR contour tube screwed off and screwed on a factory sporter contour tube in 308 and cut to 21", McMillan M7 stock I wouldn't build on M7 on purpose again.

I currently have a Lilja #1 blank with a .284" bore at the gunsmith and a Kimber Montana in 243 sitting in the safe. Trying to decide to drop the money and have the Kimber built up or just buy this Model 7 in 7/08 from a friend (I don't really own it yet, but it's mine if I want it).

Wuff's didn't like the above rifle when it was a 7mm08. Only issue is a found that 20" tube a little barrel light, though an Edge would likely cure that.

I'll try to find a couple photos. The first is a 6.5X47Lapua-Shilen barrel, Jewell trigger, Brown Precision "Pounder" stock. Metal and stock finish is Charlie Santoni. The next one belongs to one of my Grandson's and it has A Shilen stainless barrel, Jewell trigger, Brown Precision stock and it is in 30BR. This one belongs to another Grandson. It is in 6X47Lapua. It has a Shilen barrel, Shilen trigger, PT&G 3 pos safety, and also a Brown Precision stock. I can't find the photos of the one I built my oldest son 3 yrs. ago. It is in 300SAUM, Shilen stainless barrel, Shilen trigger, Brown Precision stock, custom bolt handle, Black T by Birdsong and Black paint on the stock. Butch

I have an XCR version 243 in a Brown KS stock.
I would say that it is about the nicest blueprint I've ever had in my mitts. I'd put one together just like it if I had to do one on my own.

I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Rainy antelope hunt, and went down in the goop on the way back to the truck. Took care of it with a quick spritz...

Scott, this may be a bit OT, but the green/white stock... 50%/50% medium green and white Mountain Rifle?
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

M7 is one of the better all rounders ever. I currently have a 223 with a Shilen 1 in 9" and a stock SS 260 Rem. My M7 223 is a stone cold murderer. Lots of good times past and ahead.
Cheers to the M7's.
