Remington Model 7

matwor

I have a Remington modle 7 with a laminated stock chambered in 7mm-08. I mounted a weaver classic 3-10x40 scope on it using leupold rings and single piece base. My question involves the barrel. This rifle is very enjoyable to carry in the woods and is accurate. The problem is the barrel heats up and I have to let it cool after a string of 3 shots. I would like to be able to shoot this rifle more often. I would like to have the rifle re-barrelled and have been thinking of a fluted barrel. Could anyone offer any advice whether this is a good idea or any suggestions as to what kind of barrel I should look at. What rate of twist? I reload for this caliber and use 140gr bullets. Should I stay with a standard 1 in 10?

Remington made a model 7 LS .260 with a 20" barrel and open sights. Unable to find one. Does anyone know if the Model 7 youth synthetic stock, that also has open sights, the same length from butt to trigger, or is it shortened?

The 6mm was only made in 83 and 84. Don't know of a source for how many. Try giving Remington a call.

Blue book says 6mm was discontinued in 1994. No clue on how many made. I dont think they were limited though because I dont see a premium on them though. .17 Rem and .222 are the only ones with a premium. I have seen a few 6mm come through our years here at the shop. Hope that helps..
