    I am pretty sure I used a 4 hole rail on a 3 hole action ages ago. EGWs specs seem to indicate that I possibly did 3.351" + 0.276" = 3.627"

    Dragging this thread up for a bit of M7 love. New favourite bit of kit, the HS precision .308 that I liberated from @Kelton.
    Kept the barrel full length on this one, and glad I did. Balances perfectly with the lightweight barrel. Leupold vx3i 2.5-8 in extra low Talleys. Tuned the factory trigger, which is actually very good. 9 shots and zeroing and load development done. Never had it that easy!

    Do it! Such a good configuration for hunting this country. I doubt there’s an animal or environment that you couldn’t hunt with one. Except scrub bulls- I’d want at least the .358 for that kind of nonsense.

    Mine with its first kill a few months ago,
    7mm Saum, mcmillan, dpt, talleys, z6 and a triggertech. Shooting the amax 162s, has shot a few animals this year.

    Only fits 2 in the mag for some reason, also tight to close bolt every now and then, apart from that it works and does the job
