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?

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.

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.

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.

Rainy antelope hunt, and went down in the goop on the way back to the truck.

Took care of it with a quick spritz...

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.
