Gunsmithing Model 7 DBM

[HighCotton]

Has anyone but DBM on a model 7 before? I think DBM for a SA 700 will work but dont have one on hand to try. I'm kinda nervous about spending $300 and it may or may not work. I know the 700 and 7's use the same scope mount so the top side foward of the bolt handle is the same but not sure about the bottom of the action.
Thanks

Negative. The M7 OAL of the action is shorter than a rem 700 SA. The action screw distance is not the same.

The M7 uses the same 2 piece bases as the SA R700; not the same one piece bases. The receiver top contour is the same, the length is not.

Think about it this way, if they were the same OAL, then why have two actions?

No workey workey....

Well crap. T thought the .5" difference was behind the bolt handle. I guess thats what I get for thinking again. I'll make some one a smokin deal on model 7 in 260... j/k
