So I just picked up a7RM in a 110 for the purposes of building a Mountain Rifle. I am topping it with a Burris Fulfield 3x9x40 E1 scope that I got with Cabelas points the scope it came with was a Simmons 8 pt.. It also came with a black shiny tupper ware stock. I pulled a wooden 110 stock off of a 243 I have. So here is my list of questions I have. I want a 500 yd hunting rifle.

Will the wooden stock fit the 7mag?

If the wooden stock fit the 7mag would it be worth refinishing and using? {I like wood stocks both are blind mag)

How much would glassing and bedding a wood factory stock improve accuracy?

Is glassing and bedding a stock something a pretty handy person can do?

I adjusted the factory trigger on my 243 to my liking so I will try to do the same with a 7mag.

Is there that much difference in a 5lb trigger and a 2.5 lb trigger in a hunting situation?

What is a good pre fit recoil pad to put on a 7mag? Ive never shot her before, but from what I understand its about the same as a 30-06. I have been shooting a savage .06 since I was 10 so I am no stranger to the recoil. I've been shooting an 06 for 30 yrs.

Do I even need a after market recoil pad?

What else am I missing that will make this a great mountain rifle?


Thanks for the opinions!
