Got a pard looking to build a 7 RM hunting rifle. I know, there's no need for such madness, but he's got a Rem 700 LA mag bolt face. I did manage to talk him down from a .300WM at least! He really thinks he wants a thumbhole, but I'm trying to steer him away from that. My first thougth is a Mesa Precision Altitude, but that may be more than he's looking to spend. Maybe a Terrain, since the extra bit a weight won't be amiss?

A good T-hole design,in a well balanced rifle,soaks up recoil rather nicely.

Barrel contour and length,factor stock decisions................

the trick is finding the right t hole, without fondling a few first. Might spin up the barrelled action first, and run it in something availible/mundne until he finds something he really likes.

Leaning 22-24" mag sporter.

The vanilla Boyd's T-hole is forgiving and is happy in that length/contour.

I want more contour in a Terrain.............

I'm gonna do a KungFu 7mm Remmie Mag on a Pre-64,mainly because it cracks me up.

Receiver diameter "contour" though...............

Should be doing a 7-375 Ruger on that thing...... Not sure on price but I've been really impressed with AG composites stock offerings that I have seen.
We're out on the east coast. Nothing out here needs a mag of any discription, to be honest. He hasn't really set a budget yet, but we're working on it.

I've ShamWow'd more than a BUNCH and it'd be amongst THE last things I'd do,on a 700 L/A.

The 7mm Remmie Mag is THE Easy button,with no bullshit attached................

I just put a 700 xcr2 300 WM in a greyboe outlander. Dropped right in. I kinda like the weight of it. Greyboe certainly ainā€™t light.

It was a used older one I picked up. Fits the factory 700 like itā€™s supposed to. Pretty nice upgrade for two bills.
