I see we got you registered. Welcome. As for the model 7. I've used #2 contours to build a 20VT and 7TCU on two M7 actions. A little lighter than you are looking at. But instead of going heavier, I went a tad longer. I finished mine at 21 inches, still light but the weight forward makes it balance better. I think its perfect in fact, and as ready is great. I had a 20" heavier barrel in 223 on a 700 SA and while it was short, it didn't balance well, and lost a good bit of velocity to a standard 24" tube.

Good choice with the Smith too.
