OK this is one of those projects that has been in the works for so long that my tastes have changed from start to finish. My muse was a 1905 M-S, I wanted to duplicate the style with a modern flare. Action is a model 7, Stainless Steel sent to Pac-nor for full blue printing and installation of their top of the line stainless tube. Barrel is 18.5" duplicates the old model 7 contour, is a 1-8" twist, 3 groove, and is chambered for .260. Has a gre-tan light weight shroud and pin combo that replaced the orignal wart. I did not specify throating geometry as it was early in my custom days. Stock is an amazing piece of walnut that I'm positive that my photographic skills don't do justice. I just sent it off to Karnis who worked his magic on. It is a stunner! Rifle has not been shot since barrel work was completed. I won't say that I'm not at all interested in trades, but cash is king. I would probably sell just the stock set seperately, but I assure you it won't come cheap! The photos make it look like their is a blemish on the side without the cheekpiece, there aren't it's just a fingerprint. Overall it is kind of dirty from sitting in the basement at various stages of incompletion, but I don't think you will be disappointed with this one! For those that care, weighs just a tick under 6 lbs. as it sits and balances dead on the front action screw. $2,000 TYD

Awesome!!!!!!! Put a scope on it, make some hand loads for it and keep it!!! I just finished a 7x57 that could be it's mirrored twin, Left handed.of coarse. Mine is a long action that was shortened by 1/2" and rewelded. The stock was completely. Hand cut! I think you will regret selling your's ....NICE!!!!
Keep your head on the stock,wood on wood

Oh snap! I think you can tell from my handle I love model 7s, and this is a fantastic example.

Getting a lot of questions on the barreled action. Stock would have to sell first before I sold the barreled action seperate. I'm not opposed to parting it out if someone bought the stock first. Thanks all.

I need a Leupold 6x42 target model with, AO. I'm into traditional bows, backpack hunting, good glass. Need a 14" contender barrel in straight walled pistol cartridges, want a 21" tapered 30-30 barrel for contender. Just some ideas for you all. Items plus cash would certainly be possible.
