[QUOTE="Gunnersaw1, post: 181439, member: 6526"] I have a Remington Model 7 .300 SAUM. I really like the way it comes up to my shoulder. It just seems to fit me well. My goal is to have an Elk rifle that I can carry around and shoot Elk up to 600 yds. So I have decided to take this Model 7 and see how much I can do with it. I did bed the action and adjust the trigger to 42 oz..I reload with Remington and Norma brass. So far I have had the best luck with RL 19 and 168gr Bergers, but they dont fit in the magazine. The first thing I want to change is the stock -----I have been looking at HS Precsion and Mcmillan,not a lot of choices for the M7 and I dont want wood. Before I purchase the stock I have to decide if I am going to rebarrel. I want this to stay a Model 7 type rifle. I dont mind making the rifle a little heavier just not longer. Thinking about a heavy contour barrel. I know you could get more velocity with a longer one but I would like it to stay more compact. I have been looking at what the Specialty Pistols have been doing with 14 to 18 in barrels and they seem to do pretty good. XP 100 and Model 7 actions are basically the same. I just want one with a rifle stock, a Harris bipod, and a 20 or 22 in barrel. I would really like some input on these thoughts. [/QUOTE]
