!7 Remington in a Model 7
A few years ago, I bought one of those Model 7 actions Brownells was selling. It was stamped for the 300 BLK.
I at the time had found a supposed to be a "New Rifle" take off from a 700, in 17 Remington. Recently, I picked up parts enough to put it together. Local smith screwed the barrel on. The head space is a little long, but acceptable. The 7 came with a 20 mil base. I off set this with Burris Signature rings, and 20+- inserts on the front.. Haven't made it to the range, but that is next. Here's a pic. Jim Last edited by Jim D; 01-26-2017 at 12:04 AM. |

Nice! If the headspace is a touch long you MAY be able to take a FEW thousandths off the recoil lug.

17 Remington in a Model 7
Sort of spooking the comment "Headspace is a little long, but acceptable". Headspace should be correct and not questionable in a rifle, for the good of the shooter, rifle and bystanders, if it blew up.
Why did the gunsmith just set the barrel back, just enough, to take out the headspace issue ? I think I would ask him and have him do so, before I stared shooting that weapon. Bill K |

I did put 5 rounds through it, and they are fine ! I full length sized two, and by my case comparator, the fired and full length sized cases were the same. The primers didn't back out either. Thanks ! Jim |

Finally made it out to sight in the 17 rem, and a 700 ADL Heavy barrel 223 (Cabelas Special)
That 17 Rem new take off barrel is great ! I wouldn't have expected a custom barrel to shot any better ! Off the ground with a bipod. I put an old VX I 3x9 on top of the model 7 300 BLK action, from Brownells A local smith advised IMR 8208. I started with a minimun load behind a 20gr V-max. Here's a pic. The top right three, are 223, out of The Cabelas Special. The bottom left three are from the 17. 100yds A good day. We had nearly 12" of snow last night, and today, total. Better start looking for some yotes ! Jim Last edited by Jim D; 01-26-2017 at 12:08 AM. |
