My new 7saum has arrived and I'm excited to share some pics.
This rifle will be my long range tactical rifle (for matches where a stage(s) may be 1000yards and farther). It will also spend some time in the field hunting deer and groundhogs.
Here are the specs:
Action: Blueprinted Remington 700
Caliber: 7saum
Barrel: 28" fluted, heavy barrel, 1:8 twist to shoot 180 and 195grain bullets, four port Muscle Brake and Holland recoil lug
Finish: McMillan Gray cerakote.
Stock: McMillan A3 (50% brown, 25% black, 25% gray - trebark colors!) with adjustable cheekpiece. Pillar bedded.
Trigger: Jewell trigger tuned to 18oz. - it breaks like glass!
Optics: Leupold MK4 8.5-25x50 with M5 turrets and TMR reticle mounted in Burris Signature Rings and 20moa rail.
Weight: 15lbs unloaded
This rifle started life as http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-300rum-mcr-70809/ The conversion to 7saum was done by Shawn Burkholder with Hawk Hill Custom - Hawk Hill Custom. I highly recommend him to you.
Initial load development has shown great accuracy potential (.5moa or better) while sending 180grain Berger Hybrids at 2900+ with expectations of getting them going 3000fps. I'll post shooting results soon. In the mean time, here's a few pics of my new stick. Let me know what you think.
This rifle is a visual twin of http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/index11.html#post952416. (7saum in rear with four port brake)
