I happen to have a mountain rifle contour stainless steel 22 inch barrel in 7-08 and I just ordered a Model Seven TrigerTech trigger. The rifle is still sporting the original 18.5 inch barrel which shoots just fine, If I had to nit pick the rifle is a little bit muzzle light, used to be a lot before I replaced the stock with one from a M7 Predator. Muzzle blast with the short 7-08 tube and slower powders is pretty impressive. Hunting at night it will flash blind you for a few seconds. The hem and the haw of it is as is it shoots very well. The 22 inch stainless tube is said to be a good shooter by it's previous owner so that hopefully is not a worry. I did have an AD using the stock trigger, the rifle is a 1991 model and I feel replacing the trigger won't do anything but be a smart move. Looking for a gunsmith in the Fort Worth area to pull the old barrel. Seems they are not as common as they used to be.
