[ATTACH]7938 Dont worry @superdiver , it's happy where it is.... ;)
:smash:
I havnt had the 20 year old 260 Rem out of the safe for a very long time, it use to be one of my favs.
I had no ammo in the box for it, so loaded up some 120gr Sierra Prohunters with some H414 and had a play.
It must have been happy about seeing the light of day, shooting a couple of shots just under 1 inch ...................at 300 yards ;-)
Pinging along just shy of 3k too, not bad from the 20" tube.
Might have to go get another deer with it soon, it probably won't be capable of killing a deer these days tho as the poor old thing doesn't have a carbon fiber stock, fluted bits or even a suppressor.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...14dee7e726.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e52687bafb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c8002e152e.jpg

Nice one man ;)
Off on a venison hunt this weekend on a large bush covered station. Theres plenty of wild sheep around as well. So am taking the 223 as well to head shoot some Christmas lambs. Just doubled checked it's zero. First target is two at 200 yards (zero) 2nd target pic is another 2 shots at 400 yards with 6.5 moa dialed on. Love this little model 7. No excuses now.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7525d1c2d5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7838cae2f7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d416473d1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b9eb372dc3.jpg

Which are the best mounts for the 7 and has anyone had any trigger work done?
I have Talleys on all my Model 7's, and have just had the factory triggers adjusted and the sear engagement altered. They come up really well if the person knows what they are doing, nice and light and crisp. Mine rifles vary from 1.5 to 2 pounds and make a big impact on ability to shoot well.
I really like the DNZ game reapers as they are a single piece, and theres bugger all to move about. Timney triggers are good but may need a bit of metal removed or tweaking the bolt release to engage proper so the bolt doesnt fall out.
Anyone know what the new plastic stocks weigh
https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Lis...?id=1498513516 here you guys go. Wish i could do it but the 'play account' is empty haha
I had one in 7mm08 (first rifle).
Shot my first few deer with it.
Only problem it had was such a skinny barrel it heated up after 2 rounds, if shooting at a mob or targets, round 3 onwards could go anywhere. Traded it in on a 700 VTR in 308 which I hated.
Sacrilege!! Never catch me selling my model 7
I Scratched that itch with a semi custom 700. 300win Mag. Blue printed action/bolt ,Heavy weight criterion barrel, ASE supressor , Macmillan stock , tuned trigger, Nathan Foster bedded. Digi cam paint, obligatory choice of Night force optics.
Itch scratched....Now on to light weight rifles.
Even my 10 year old is able to hit 800m gong 1st round.
Should put this here for the record. Updated the 7Saum with March 2.5-25x52.

Hey team just looking to get load recipes for 7mm08 and 260s. Finally succumb to the mod 7 and will be getting one soon. Will not be shortening the barrel to less than 18" and will probably leave it standard for now. Seems nosler BTs in 120 & 140 are popular on this thread!
Also anyone have a stug stock that they may sell?
Attachment 100171 mod 7 in 260. Taking it to sight in this evening with some factory 120gr federals donated from a mate and then will see what I have in the cupboard to load. Have been donated some 120gr Pro hunters but I just need to collect them. Any loads would be appreciated. Staying @ 20" for now but will shorten to 17-18" in future and suppress when I get the green light for a LR build haha
129 Pro hunters in 6.5mm @Danny?
Attachment 100339 put the rifle to use yesterday. 255yd neck shot on the little ginger one and blew a big hole in ones shoulder at 10yds over the dog. 43.5gr of 2209 pushing a 130gr Sierra HPBT at 2750~
Nice going there superdriver. This has got to be my favourite thread. That suppressor is going on my Model 7 308 ;)
I've given my Model 7 a rebirth From a 260imp to 6XC in a 1:7.5 26 inch heavy barrel.
PT&G detachable bottom metal with MDT steel mag.
Gunworks 3 port brake.
I've put the original factory stock on after filling it with epoxy to add weight and stiffen it some more. I'll get a better stock over time.
Intended use is for medium to long range match shooting. Likely to shoot a few animals at some point soon.

New to me, mod 7 260. Just fitted into a stug stock and its shooting tidy groups with the bergers so far. Weighs 2.9kg all up, one of my favourite rifles to date
Recently acquired from a forum member. .223 1.9 twist. Mounted the 'scope today.
He did a nice job of modifying a laminated stock back to carbon sort of weight (bare rifle 5lb 14oz).
