Great gun and great caliber. My mom (60) and my brother in law both shoot model 7's in 7-08. I have a 700 short custom built just like a model 7 because I'm left handed. Mine has a McMillan stock, but I really like yours with the laminated wood. Is it very heavy. At worst with a little tuning (trigger, bedding, barrel channel), it should be a real shooter.
Keep us posted.
