Ive just created one, i had an early mod 7 260 rem with a slow twist barrel that wouldnt stabilise anything heavier than 123gr.
I picked up a Rem 700 take off 24" 6.5CM 8 twist barrel off the forum recently. Ive screwed that on in place of the 260 barrel. It headspaced perfectly too.
A year or so back i also picked up a 2nd hand Wildcat Composites stock which is really light and stiff. So thats gone on it.
Ive done initial load development with 143gr eldx and its looking pretty good with Re26.
Im looking forward to finishing it all off and doing some more shooting with it. Ive left the tube at 24" for now, on the shorter mod 7 action its still only the same OAL as a 700 or Tikka with a 22" barrel.
