Thread: The model 7 in your life

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

She shoots alright

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).

300 saum just finished a refurb on stock removed factory gloss replaced with boiled linseed and gave it a black tip.Action and barrel hydro dipped in urban cryptic, now waiting for new recoil pad.

Very nice. And in a great caliber. Love my 300saum. Would do me fine as my only rifle.

Like the hydrodip finish. I have a stock done in the same pattern. How is it for corrosion resistance on the metal?

@Shearer so far so good mate time will tell not sure about the durability yet either

Excellent. I will be interested to see how it fares over time.

My little lightweight .223 Predator, I custom duracoated the black as I wasn't a fan of the full hydro dip look.

Back in December 2019 a good ole hunting mate was very sadly taken from us quite a few years too soon. Wayno had and loved his original model 7 in 243 win. He'd used it to hunt rereationally and also do some commercial goat culling over the years. Many many goats and lots of venis had fallen to Wayno and his beloved Remmy Model 7.

He'd shot out the original factory barrel, not surprising with the mobs of goat that had been slayed with it. He had sourced a new barrel via Trueflite and then had God himself (Allan Carr) machine and fit the barrel. Wayno had great respect for Allan's Gunsmithing, hence he called him God ;-).

I'd enjoyed Wayno's company on several weekend long hunting trips, and heard reports of many more of his hunting stories, normally involving the little M7 243. I certainly knew his love for the little pea shooter.

Anyway a little while after Wayno left us, i was offered his prized Model 7 to purchase. I knew it was a great little rifle and thought it'd be pretty neat to have it and take it out now and then and shoot another deer for Wanyo with it. So i grabbed it!

Well i spent a couple of hours at the range this morning, once i finished sorting the other rifles, i thought id put a couple of rounds thru Waynes little 243. I used some of his handloads that came with the rifle. I normally wouldnt be too keen on shooting any old loads i hadnt made, but i had much faith in Wayne's handloading ability so thought id see how they went.

After a couple of shots at 100 to confirm zero, i went back to 300 and fired a couple at my steel plate, WOW! Through the scope i could see one impact that appear to be two shots very close together. There were now only two of those loads left in the box, so i left them for now and went up to the target to check.

Two impacts .560 inch centre to centre! Thats like .175moa LOL. I kinda wish id fired a third now just to see what happened. But i wanted to measure those two up and pull them apart to confirm bullet weight and powder charge weight, which ive now done and have the load details.

Im now keen to load some more up and get out and take a deer with it now.

Bloody neat little shooter me ole mate, i can see why you were so fond of it!

That's one fine shooter, Wayno would be happy with that.

Anyone got a spare bolt for one as I need it?
