Sure looks that way. Classic model stock, at least.

Got the correct 24" barrel and stock. Looks to be the Real McCoy.

Looks like a Classic stock and rifle configuration. The list I found says the 7-08 was made in 2001...

Sure looks like a Classic. Description says after market butt pad, but it's the right color for an original Classic pad.

I agree with everyone else that the stock appears to be a Classic, the only thing that looks a bit off and it could just be the camera/pictures is the recoil pad looks a little different?? As I recall the Classics typically had a thinner looking pad and it was a more red color? Except on the magnum classics which did have a thicker pad, this one should have the thinner red colored pad if period correct. Otherwise looks like a nice clean rifle.

What's going on with that muzzle? It looks like it got dropped hard, point down, in the gravel.

Well it sold already. Looks like the muzzle got poorly cropped out of the photo.

Well, I've seen a few that look a little reddish - not like the full on red ones you see on McMillans but sometimes they look a bit red to me but sure they probably technically are brown. But that one on the rifle shown was not factory which someone else already noted. Regardless, probably my favorite wood stocked rifle from Remington.
