Well, can't seem to find a buck, but got a couple pics of my 7-08. It's an older 20" blued chromoly synthetic that's been camo-dipped wearing a yet to be painted Leupy M8 6x42 heavy duplex in Talley Lightweights that I d&t the 4th hole on the receiver to accommodate. Its Devcon bedded at the lug and free-floated; generally 3/4" capable with a light crisp pre-X-Mark trigger. Getting ~2760fps with 43.5gr Varget and 139gr Hornady SP. I had a lot of help and inspiration from the Campfire on this for outfitting (the free classifieds, hunting rifles, hunting optics) and pretty much learning to make accurate ammo (big game reloading, hunting rifles) etc... Thanks. OT Where did you get that dipped at?

If anyone has a KS style stock for the Model 7 (round pistol grip knob, cheekpiece, usually gray or gray camo), I am interested in buying it. Let me know. Black also:

Well, black too then. I'm interested in buying a KS stock made by Brown Precision.
It is nice to know that Mickey is making them available to the public now also.

It is nice to know that Mickey is making them available to the public now also. I have a McMillan on order and Dick Davis say's they'll be green. These stocks are still available from Brown Precision also but almost twice as expensive as the McMillan, but then again, the "Brown" IS Kevlar whereas the McMillan is fiberglass with "Edge" fill.

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

Basic stock KS in .350 Rem Mag.... Leupold 1.75-6 VX 3 with a Weaver base, Burris QD rings and BC Mountain Sling... M7s are about as perfect a out of the box hunting rifle as you can buy... Tomorrow I put a 2.5x8 VX 3 on a young hunters stainless/synthetic .308...why Remington dropped the stainless M7s is beyond me... Bob 350 Rem - Note to self

Can anyone confirm for me that the rifle in the pic above (Model 7 in 350 Rem) actually has a "Remington Sporter Barrel" shortened to 22" and therefore then called a "Magnum Contour..?"

That's the magnum contour. I believe you'll find that's a 20" barrel rather than 22.

Ok..20" it is then.
Guess i am asking if it is the same contour as the Remington Sporter, just cropped at 20" Is it.?

No, being 35 caliber it's a little thicker than the 7mm-08 or 260 Rem. I believe it's .615 at the muzzle IIRC.

358wsm- I have two SS model 7's one is a 7SAUM the other a 243. The 243 has a 20" LW (mountain contour I believe) barrel, the 7SAUM has 22" barrel with a different contour. I think they call it the Mag contour, which I think is close to the standard contour barrel. Someone else jump in here that knows.
There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however, Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Yes, the 7SAUMS have a heavier barrel. The slightly heavier barrels actually feel better balanced to me than the lighter barreled M7s. I don't know if it is the same contour, less flutes, as the M7 Predator's fluted barrel or not.
My .223 M7 CDL is just too muzzle light for me.
Anyone ever try hollowing out the CDL stock to lighten the buttstock?
