Its on a shortened H&H case.Its shorter than the 7MM Remington Mag.Its built on a 96 Mauser action,so hence the case length.It was built up as a benchrest gun or varmiter.very heavy barrel.Sling swivels is why i believe its a varmiter.Any info would be appreciated.

Hmmmm, 120 gr. or 140 gr. RBCD SP at over 4000 fps with over 5500 flbs of energy!

*Super Flat Shooting

*Super Hard Hitting

*Superior Accuracy in a totally unique Custom Rifle

Sounds nice, I have heard that they have Contender Barrels in 7mm Super Mag too. (some guys are just f#$@ing nuts.)

It was designed by one of the old guys
Warren Page is in my head but I don't think that is correct.Was 0.8 inches shorter than 7mm.
Sort of a precursor of the short fat magnums that have come out in the last 3 years.

It could be a 7*61 Sharpe & Hart Super.

I hear it's a fine cartridge, but it offers no real benefit over other 7mm's out there to offset it's "reloader only" status.

PS: I'm not a big reloader. The only reason I'm aware of this is that I've held a Dick Chandler Custom sniper rifle chambered for this cartridge.
