Don't worry. I have noted it. Just not financial at the moment if I have to pay for something else.Quote:

Right dumb question time, been at least an hour :)
Is the mag box the same length on all standard mod 7s? If I loaded a dummy round at mag length in my 308 will it be much of a muchness for a 260?
Same length..magnum longer barrel is only diff apart from bolt face of courseQuote:

What cal? And you gotta flute the bolt too!
7mm08 @Tikka7mm08 needs the stug off your .260 aswell ;)
Yep they make a huge difference in weight, highly recommend. You can add fluting, lightweight shrouds and firing pins but it is a drop in the ocean compared to a CF stock change.
Where do you get the lightweight pin and shrouds from? I can only find the one at gunworks which is out of stock. I emailed them and they said it's been on back order from PnG for 2 years.
Yep got mine from Gunworks. That is a bugger.
Pretty sure you can get the pins on trademe.Quote:

I was running 120 NBT's in my 15 inch, but have stepped up to 140 NBT's now. They carry more energy and actually shot much better in my rifle.Quote:

That makes sense. 140gn BT/ABs same load worked well in several Tikkas I loaded for. 120s go sub 0.250MOA in the little Rem. Will never sell it.

No pressure signs and nice tight groups. Would be happy to shoot a deer at 500 yds if I had too.

Happy so far Bob
Sounds good. Picked up a DPT today...walked in and fitted on the spot. Just spoke to 16yo daughter who claimed it as hers as soon as she heard it is a Sako. My 11yo claimed it too. Rock, paper, scissors to follow.Quote:

The Model 7 bug has spread further south! My son (17) needed his own rifle, so I said start looking and saving. He's always preferred wood over plastic and one look at this and he wanted it. I've "loaned" him my old VX3 2.5-8 as a fill in until he buys his own scope. So the tidy little 7lb Mod 7 is in 260, the best bit about it of course ;) Now the pressures on me to sort a good load.

that sat on my watchlist if it is the one off trademe. Was so tempted but controlled myself. Still gutted i could not grab that 308 on the forum earlier this year =(
