Ribbon checkering like that is very difficult to execute correctly. Depending on the fine detail of the stock, when it was made, and who made it, the original cost may have run a very pretty penny. Is the barrel an original or an aftermarket? It'd be interesting to know if the action was blueprinted also, but if the thing shoots bugholes it doesn't matter.
Thanks to all for the encouraging comments. The seller signed for my certified letter with the check on 10/07 and my ffl dealer said he called for the data.
So it may be on it's way now!
Here is another picture of it. I found my 7mm RM dies, brass and ammo!
The 7mm RM ammo I had was 175 factory and old 140 X bullet handloads. Accuracy was poor with keyholes from the X's.
I discovered that the barrel's twist is 1-12"! Standard for the 7mm RM is 1-9".
There was one tight group with 120gr Noslers at 100yds.
The stock's quality of workmanship and detail are better to the eye than pictures can tell. It needs some finish on it so as to have a glow and shine that I prefer and perhaps protect it if it ever sees rain.
The action is indeed a genuine FN however it only has a trigger safety.
The rifle is almost 9 lbs as shown.
The stock has been glass bedded and has no cracks. I paid $560.00 delivered
with those scope mounts.
If you can get that 120 Nosler load over a chrono, you can then apply Greener's formula & get a fair idea what will stabilize at what speed out of that barrel. But I can't imagine what possible use the previous owner had thunked up for that combination of twist & caliber!
Of course several custom barrel makers will make another tube with the exact duplication of the outer contour and a tighter twist inside. Lilja & Krieger are the first two that come to mind. To my mind that's not a bad idea since the stock's probably worth over a grand by itself. Any chance of finding out who made it?
