Remington Model 7 SS

I’m not a fan of pressure points. I have a m7 7-08 and the 700ss mountain 7-08 and both shoot sub moa with 120ttsx. At the range I let both cool between rounds due to the lighter whippy bbl’s. When hunting not typically worried about sub-moa for a follow-up. If you haven't tried the barnes it might be worth a go.

Hey, when I said tiny, you would think it's a toy , kind of tiny . It makes my Winchester M70 Featherweight look and feel like a club of old oak.
Bare, no scope, rings or bases, no sling and no ammo aboard, it weighs 5 lbs, an really is about half the size of the Featherweight.

Ya, pretty much !! If you get one with the J-Lock, replace it with the GRE-TAN firing pin/shroud as soon as you can
I just got mine and installed it in 5 min. Super easy.

That's cool, an interesting.
We really need to get a hold Of one..
Otherwise I'm trying to push a Tikka T3 onto her.... Though the little Rems are lovely.

Will keep trying to get a feel! Thanks for your info
 
The Remington ISS/J-Lock is capable of being activated while 'Cocked" w/a knife or screw driver.

To disengage/un-lock it, the detent ball needs to be depressed to rotate the lock.

To de-activate the system-
Insert the firing pin assy into a mainspring compression tool & compress the spring to expose the firing pin striker/cocking piece 3/32" cross pin.
Punch out the 3/32" cross pin.
Rotate the firing pin shank 180 degrees so the lock slot is at 6 o'clock.
Insert the 3/32" cross pin thru the cocking piece/firing pin shank.
Decompress the mainspring.

You now have a deactivated ISS/J lock firing pin assy as a spare firing pin assy.

The ONLY part that will interchange w/a non ISS/J-Lock firing pin assy is the 3/32" cross pin in the striker/cocking piece.
All other parts firing pin,spring,striker,shroud are proprietary to the ISS/J-Lock assy.
 
So... I installed the Gre-Tan firing pin, super easy! I had to sub in my Leupold 4-12x40 Rifleman scope as there is something wrong with the VX1 2-7x33 as it wouldn't hold point of impact, so off to Korth it will go.
Now the little 7 shoots 3/4" with Hornady American Whitetail 139gr Interlock loads and averages 2710fps from the 20" barrel !! I'm impressed!
I tried a reload with Speer 145gr Grand Slams starting with 46gr of H4350 and got to 46.5gr and then it started to rain so had to pack up and head home. But, with the 46.5gr load, I got 2750fps for 3 rounds all in a ice 1" triangle. It should tighten up a little more with 47gr. All sparked with CCI BR2 primers. I'm a happy man !!
I will get pics of groups next time as it was raining too hard and just grabbed everything and ran for the truck !
 
Yeah Right! Thanks man.. I've never seen such a group with Grand Slams! I want to love the bullet but I didn't get less than 1.5+ with Varget in my Kimber!!!

I wanna now know about them performing on Deers !! 😎😎🫎🫎

Legend. Nice setup all round .

I would think that maybe change powders. I've used Grand Slams before in y .300 WinMag and they are just as devastating as a Nosler Partition.
I've never liked Varget, in any of my guns it's never really been as accurate as H4350 or IMR4350.
