Claret_Dabbler Well-Known Member May 17, 2010 #2 1/2" unf is fine on a 7mm. However, if I had a choice and the mod was compatible, I would rather have 15x1 metric thread. Take the rifle to Young Guns, have him send it to Steve Kershaw and get it done properly. Last edited: May 17, 2010

Ronin Distinguished Member Trade Member May 19, 2010 #4 1/2 UNF is fine for a 7mm-08. I personally do not like putting 1/2UNF on 30 cals. When you work out what the barrel wall thickness is at the thread root,,,,,,,,
