What work did you have done on it?Killed a pile of deer and coyotes with my Browning 7mm-08. I had a gun shop over in Lilburn do their magic on it and she is a shooter. Her name is "Bad Medicine."View attachment 1044099
40 oz trigger?Crowned the muzzle, glass bedded and free floated the barrel, lap the lugs on the bolt, 40 oz trigger. Cannot remember them all as it was 7 adjustments to accurize a rifle. The shop was called Bennetts Custom Shop. It has been a while.
40 oz trigger?
I don’t know that I can love that caliber. My dad had a model 7 youth that he replaced the stock on with some aftermarket super light stock and mounted a luey 2-7 and loaded the rifle weight just over 6 pounds. Was the hardest recoiling rifle I think I’ve ever shot in my life!
If it were on my rifle, it would be a 3/4 lb trigger if that's your preferred terminology. On my bench guns, it would be a 1/16th of a pound trigger.Colt 45 drinkers use this terminology, us real beer drinkers would say 2 1/2 lbs.
3/4lb hunting trigger, sounds safe.
My best friend has a model 77 compact in 7mm-08 and that thing is about a handful! I say I'm going to buy another full size rifle in 7mm-08 but all I carry is my encore. That gun has killed a pile of deer with the 7mm-08 barrel on it.I had bought a youth birched stock model 7 708 for my son, it was a sweet heart with reduced loads, felt like a 223. I was curious what it would do with my standard handloads that I shoot out of my model 7. It was stout. I sent that youth model 7 down the road once I picked up a m77 compact in 260. Its amazing the difference in recoil. No more reduced loads for us. Both are big enough to shoot my stainless synthetic model 7 in 708 now, the limbsaver on it makes a world of difference. My youngest has shot so many with the 260 that is all he wants to take though.
