The story.- 7mm RUM

[CZ]

About three months ago all started.- a friend of mine order 3 boxes of 7mm RUM custom loads, when they arrived they seemed expensive for him..... now I had 3 boxes of 7mm RUM rounds and no rifle, by the way been playing with my 28 Nosler and Im very satisfied but thats another story.
said..... will build one.- had a custom 375RUM without too much use and swaped for a factory barrel I found on Ebay 40us quite cheap, sometimes whats junk for other will be priceless for another.
here are the specs.-
7mm RUM
Remington 700 blueprinted action, factory trigger will change for a jewell
Cerakoted all the way
laminated stock.
glassbedded devcon 10110 all the way floated barrel
leupold bases and rings
leupold 6.5x20 scope dot


today tested with DT longrange doubletap ammunition 150 nosler AccuBond longrange.
Some pics tell more.....

Sounds as if you found a diamond in the rough. Congratulations. When you get the posting worked out, I'm sure we'll all be most interested in your latest creation.

CZ, I know you are an old hand at posting photos; nevertheless, reread this thread:

if you haven't done so already.

Wonder if something changed when the crew was doing maintenance?

Handsome rifle, to be sure. Receiving ammunition for a rifle you don't currently own is always an invitation to build. :mrgreen:

If that target is a group it is dang impressive! Did you have the barrel set back to reduce free bore?

yes, the work was the folowing.-

face of the barrel that contact action was rectified -.003"
Face of the action squared -.003"
Face of bolt rectified and lightly polished.
bolt lugs lightly polished.

there was no change in threads, headspace +-.003"

3 shots at 100mts, thats the group.

will try now 162gr eld-x and see results.

By now dont know the freebore the rifle was shot with factory custom ammo.
I dont have problem with COL the rifle is a single shot without ejector.
