i have one and it's fantastic. i just don't use the "magnum" capabilities really. a 7-08 will do everything i use the 7SAUM for, so i'll be offloading it when i get home. that said, it's a fantastic gun that shoots really well with just about anything I put in the chamber. i'm just gonna settle down and burn a little less powder, have a little less recoil when i shoot is all.

You could always use the 7-08 to drive 120's at roughly the same speeds the SAUM pushes 154-160's. (grin)
I like my little M7 in the 284 short-fat ultra. It's a used SS model that I put in a M7 CDL takeoff stock from a .350RM model. The original plan was to run 120 TTSX's at 3,300fps+, but it showed a real preference for the 160 Accubond. My dad has just put together two M7's in the same chambering, a blued/laminated model and an SS model in a 673 laminate take-off. We'll be loading both with necked-down 300SAUM brass. He wants to compare the 120TTSX in one gun with the 160AB in the other. Always something to tinker with.....
Now with even more aplomb

I'd buy it at $525 (remind them its a dead cartridge..  ) and drop the factory stock on eBay.. some idiot will buy it for 80 bucks, maybe more. Order a mcedge, and by the time it arrives, you might be able to get brass for it. It's pretty scarce right now.. some wing nuts around here seem to be buying every scrap of it right now, for some hare brained reason..  I followed RL's lead on this, but went with the AWR stock. This is the perfect balance of weight, recoil and accuracy IMO. Here's my load work up, 162 Amax on top, 120 BT on bottom. 162's at 2900+, 120's at 3400+ ![[Linked Image]](http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac354/Arkysaw/DSC01805_zps4714452d.jpg) Nice rig, but that scope looks like a fedora on a midget. I really like that particular McM stock.

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

Thanks for the feedback. The rifle is still sitting on the shelf at the store. I guess the lack of ammo has scared buyers off, as there isn't one 7mm SAUM cartridge in the store. On the other hand, there were many boxed of 7mm Rem Mag ammo on the shelf.
So I still need to decide if I want to double up (already have a 7mmRM in my safe). Decisions, decisions....
Regards,
Tom

Had two, one Model 7 and Brown Pounder stock, the other a SA 700 that I sold. The Model 7 will be one of the last ones out the door. Same velocities as my 280AI and it shoots lights out. Had Karl flute the barrel and bolt and then aluminum oxide blast the metal. It's light and mucho accurate. ![[Linked Image]](http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/karnis/7rsaum1.jpg) Dibs! Love that rifle my friend -

Quit being a stubborn [bleep] and buy it!!! You'll get your money back out of it if you decide to sell it. Throw it in a CDL takeoff or a BC and have a cheap beater7 short and fat....

I'm a stubborn [bleep] for not buying a rifle that I don't think is even for sale?
I'm missing something obviously...

Damn... I thought I was talking to some rifle loonies and ended up talking to a pack of stubborn [bleep]... LOL I have two Model Seven SS Magnums. One is in 7mmSAUM and the other in 300SAUM and they both wear my favorite stock of all time... The Model Seven Alaska Wilderness Stock as manufactured by McMillan for Remington... They're both lights out shooters and they're gonna be passed down to my nephew and brother when I quit breathin' so don't even bother to ask... LOL $bob$
Many who have freedom have no idea where they got it....
