This is my Remington XP-100 7mm RSAUM.
Bartlein barrel at 17.5" long, #4 contour.
McMillan stock
Leupold VX5HD 3x-15x-44mm Wind Plex scope.
Built by Jon Beanland. Very accurate and one of my favorite cartridges and guns.
The 7mm RSAUM is a cartridge that in my opinion is about as good as it gets. Mine has been easy to load for, it's very efficient, I've shot some 1/4 moa groups, tho most are typically 1/2 moa.
I get 2850 fps with a Berger 168 VLDH bullet from my 17.5" barrel.
This 7mm. RSAUM should be more mainstream than it is.

Here is my 7 saum, I put it together myself. I have a few other rifles with the fancy smanshy stocks and like them all. But I really like the look of the old school hunting rifle and I love carbon barrels. Well this is what that looks like. Unfortunately I didn't harvest a critter with it, it it's easily half moa to 600 yards. That's as far as I've run it. I'll go to 1000 this winter.

I have to stop looking at these SAUM threads... there is a 7 or 25 SAUM build calling my name....
Maybe hard on barrels, but I really like the idea of a 25 SAUM. With the 135 hybrid, it has awesome ballistics. Plus I have a Bartlein .257 5R 7.75:1 M24 gathering dust.

I definitely like the ballistics of the 25 with the 135s. My ignorant self found a deal on a new action and bought a standard bolt face before I thought it out lol. So now I will prob be buying an xm action and getting a prefit spun up after I finish the two builds Im in the middle of and neglect the third in the corner

RBros build
175 Berger EH @ 3030 fps
26 inch Broughton 9 twist

7saum is one of the most underrated cartridges there are.
Remington missed a great opportunity again! (260 rem is another).

Here's my 6.5 SAUM although it is an improved version.
130 Terminal Ascent @ 3250, .3" average
144LRHT @ 3150, .26" average.
The SkeleTi action is ridiculously light and also smooth for a TI action, if I were to build it again I would use the upcoming BAT VESPER action and the UM DBM that allows seating to 3.150".
Pictures are showing it wearing a Leupold MK5. I was able to drop 8# + oz by swapping the Vortex Razor LHT. durability and repeatability TBD with the Vortex.
I also have a C6 barrel and custom reamer to chamber up a 300 SAUM Imp barrel to swap as needed.
- Pierce SkeleTi short action
- 21" HCA 7.5 twist barrel
- AG Composites Visigoth
- Hawkins Hunter DBM
- Trigger Tech Diamond flat trigger 1.5#
- ARC Rings
- Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22 MIL

Built by Manzella Precision in Central MT. He builds a great gun and awesome guy to deal with. Gun shoots well under 1/2 in. These were a couple of the very 1st groups I shot during load development. Gun is 6 lbs bare

7 saum
Tikka action
Benchmark Ibex stock
Benchmark 22" carbon barrel
Rifle has consistently thrown down 1/3moa groups from 100yds to 600yds, and being a saum a good load is like finding the east button. Currently running a 180 berger and h4350 powder at 2750fps. Going to use n565 and see if I can get another 100fps out of it this off season. The current load is boringly accurate though.
Broke it in this season with a black bear and a blacktail buck. 486yds and 60yd shots.
