We Shall call it the Model Seven CDL Mountain Rifle....


Started the germ of an idea a new build weeks ago. Ordered a couple barrels in .243 and when they came in, lo and behold, one was from a Remington Mountain Rifle.

Build took off in a new direction...more of a refurb than a build per se. Ive got a Model Seven CDL in .22-250 which I was never completely satisfied with, I started thinking.....a couple more inches of barrel, and one that will shoot premiums if I want it to....Hmmmmmmm....

Redfield 2x7 seems to fit....

The Mountain Rifle Contour fit the Seven CDL exactly, and Im waiting on an English Red pad to complete my little project...

Nice, what pills you hoping it will shoot? 80TTSX?

What's up next? 260 DGR?

Very nice, I like it a lot

95 grain NBTs or 100 gr. Flat base Horned ( I have a stash...)

That is saaawwwwweeeeeeeeeetttttttt!

Watch the recoil on that sumbitch. You're not used to those hard kicking rifles.

Thats why Im putting a new sissy pad on it.I expect it to be fierce!

That won't work, everyone knows that you cannot kill an elk with a 243 unless you are a woman or a kid.

I know it must be true because I read it on the internet and in an a gun magazine.

That's a good looking rifle, Ingwe but the gas pedal is on the wrong side.

Good idea.

That's a sweet little rifle! You got me thinking...

I had a Mod 7 Synthetics 260 that didn't shoot well, so put a 220 Swift Classic take-off barrel on it. I had a brake put on it ( neck surgery) and it was a killing machine. Traded it to a rancher in Texas on a Scimitar Oryx hunt. I later had another Mod 7 Syn made up into a 6mm/284 that worked fine, gave it to a friend later. Last one was a Mod 7 Syn that started out as a 22-250 AI, then barrel was replaced later in 6.5 Creedmoor. They make handy rifles, I'm sure you will enjoy yours! Oh yeah, on that Oryx hunt, I used a 6x47mm ( 223 mag necked up) with a Barnes 85gr xbt going 2900fps ( 243 specs!) it had a long barrel to get me there, but it put the hammer on an axis doe and then the bull Oryx (neck shot) Nothing wrong with a 243 pard!

Sweet rig, Grand Poobah!

And I like the axis hide too.

I'm betting you will like that one! I love my mdl 7 243 with a 24" sps take off barrel on it.

That should work,the last Rem-700 take off barrel I bought is a 1-9, but you wouldn't be that lucky. Rio7

Wow! That's a really cool Axis skin!!!!

Bob, my wife loves those Axis skins, so we have a few laying around......

You heading back up the caliber ladder? Should I pack up the Ingwe Special?

By the way Ingwe,nice slipper too.

Have you shot it yet?

Either of those two bullets will stack the venison, et al.

No...not really...I already have a .243, so this isn't exactly uncharted territory. And I feel confident enough with it that theres nothing in the lower 48 Id hesitate to use it on...

Haven't shot it yet...still sitting here nursing a blown knee.....hope to have a pard haul my ass up to the range soon....

It ain't a Pre-64, which of course is a good thing.

Yeah...I won't have to build an altar and bow to it every night.....

That stinks!

Ship it down here.

Very nice. Love me some Sevens!

But, but it's a 243!

You keep going up, you will end up with a 270 yet.

After you get the red pad on your .243, send it to me in Texas, then you can come visit it, I will keep it tuned up for you. Rio7

You might have a deal here.....

Next modification should be to AI it. Then we can start a 243 AI thread....

OK elks...finished the build/refurb/cobble job today....

Note the red pad. Put a Leupold VX2 3x9 on it and will shoot it in the next couple days...

Looks great,Ingwe!

Why did you change scopes? You had a Redfield 2-7x on it earlier.

I changed scopes simply because:
A) I like the bigger Leupy Better and

B) The rifle was set up as a lightweight little carry rifle for climbing the hills. My climbing in the future will be relegated
to climbing the steps into box blind. A few extra ounces wont make much difference there!

Gotcha!

Maybe you need to get a golf cart for huntin'.

Don't need a golf cart in Texas...they have Kawasaki Mules and Polaris's........kinda like high speed golf carts.

Does not get any better than that!

So true.

OK...just got out and shot the gun. VERY happy with the results.95 NBTs into an inch and 100 gr. Horns into half that....

Great,the rifle shoots as good as it looks!

A porn stash?

A Hitler pube stash?

Handlebar pubes?

'Slave wants details.

yup!

ATV for hunting!
















golf cart for entertaining!





ya!

GWB

Lovin' it Geedub!

Cant wait to crawl back into a mule....but it will be October before that happens!
