One of God's gifts to man. Yes, discontinued but you can find them on Auctions.
I have the Mod Seven LSS also and its a dream too.
Same barrel profile. I feel the 700 is thinner in width than the M-7 and in some ways feels better.

I'd like to add. Yes, the Laminate gives the rifle some class but don't let that sway you from the B&C stock. The laminate dings and scratches as bad as wood. You will quickly fall in love with the rifle with the B&C. You can always pick up a laminate off ebay sooner or later.
The r3 pad makes the 30-06 feel like a 30-30.

The model seven is.hard to find in my neck of the woods New.or.used if a store.gets one.it don't last long. Vandals used gun rack in Hamburg pa usually has a.good selection of rem 700. That's where I got my mountain rifle in 7/08 at. It's about 2 1/2 he from.me I go once a year. I haven't seen many mountain rifles for sale at gun shows mainly people that get them keep them. I don't know where you live in va but if basspro or gander mountain is close to you they can order a new mountain ss for you.http://www.gandermountain.com/modper...Rifle&i=721290

My model seven is the prefect rifle forstalking or carting a long ways. It is an older.one with 18" barrel. Put a synthetic stock on it and a 2-7 leuplod on it. Can carry it all day and don't know you have it. It is in 7/08. The model seven in synthetic is a.good.choice to look at if a short action is ok with you. The youth model has a 18" and the full size is 20" barrel.

I've had a Mtn LSS in 7mm-08 for years and it's been a perfect whitetail & hog rifle. It's put a lot of game in the freazer. I'm in the process of switching the barrel out for a 24" standard contour Bartlein SS cut rifling 7mm-08 barrel, having it glass bedded in a Boyds laminated stock, adding a Kepplinger single set trigger, and putting a Trijicon 3-9x40 on top.
It's going to be a little heavier than my original MTN LSS, but I do very little stalking anymore. Most of my hunting now is from a reaised blind so I'm not worried about the added weight. Hopefully it will retain the balance and handling that my MTN LSS had.
You can't go wrong with a MTN LSS! Good luck with your search. By the way, what caliber are you looking for.... I'll keep an eye out.
