Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Pictures of your Remington model 7's

Well, can't seem to find a buck, but got a couple pics of my 7-08. It's an older 20" blued chromoly synthetic that's been camo-dipped wearing a yet to be painted Leupy M8 6x42 heavy duplex in Talley Lightweights that I d&t the 4th hole on the receiver to accommodate. Its Devcon bedded at the lug and free-floated; generally 3/4" capable with a light crisp pre-X-Mark trigger. Getting ~2760fps with 43.5gr Varget and 139gr Hornady SP. I had a lot of help and inspiration from the Campfire on this for outfitting (the free classifieds, hunting rifles, hunting optics) and pretty much learning to make accurate ammo (big game reloading, hunting rifles) etc... Thanks. OT

Oregon, that dip job is SICK!

Dang, I think I used to have a VW bus with the same paint job.

Well - you can certainly hear it before it fires... Its called Brush Country Camo, from Texas I think. Little more lively than I'd imagined; got it second hand on here... Anyways...

Related: Was out early this morning looking for a blacktail buck.... At daybreak came within about 12 yards of a Spike Roosevelt that had been moving closer in the dark as I listened... At first light I crept forward a little by little and finally saw his spikes and eyes through some vine maple etc... He stood up, just looked at me, then moved a step or so then looked again, and again, then moved off a couple steps and looked some more, then about 10 yards and stopped to look back again, finally he trotted off.... My sweet wife just joked tonight that he was admiring my pretty rifle! OT

Pimped Mod 7 KS .350 RM

Just a plain Jane CDL in 7-08 with a 2-7x Nikon Monarch. Not particularly accurate, but it is consistent- usually 3 shots right around 1 1/4" at 100 yds. Launches 120 grainers at about 2,950 fps using either H414 or H4895.

If anyone has a Seven KS stock for sale, I'm always in the mood.....

I've gotta do me one of them green rigs. just makes a super sharp looking hunting rig.

What's the factory barrel contour on M7s? Do they lean more toward sporter or MR ish?

Cool rifle.

Jesssh. don't walk away from that one for long. I'd have to use orange tape on the bbl of that one.

I was thinking the very same thing....

talk about a high COOOL factor...

the fluted bolt is beyond my desires...

but the rest of it is Both Cool and Gorgeous!

we sure have some forum members with some creativity and good taste on the Campfire here...

I was thinking the same thing, Tom. I'd lose that one the first time I had to answer natures' call.

Very unique pattern.

Oh, and I definitely need to pick up a set of light weight rings for my M7 like so many here have done.

The Model Seven factory contour is exactly the Mountain Rifle contour, cut to 20".

There are some other contours on "special" editions of the Seven, such as the short magnums, Whitetails, 673, and the XCR fluted versions. Those are all called "magnum" contours, but from my small sample that really means that they equal the standard Remington sporter contour.

7 sporter/standard = 700 mountain
7 magnum/XCR = 700 sporter

I must 'fess up: I still need to get a Model Seven.
My original thought was to go with an original with the Schnabel forend in wood; perhaps in .223; but with the stock channeled out for a Bull Bbl.
Then I started fantasizing about a 'Mini-Sniper' in some other caliber, and that's where I stopped.
My mind was warped...

This 'Forest Combat' style I see here is very well done and interesting.
I don't know yet which Model Seven I will eventually end up with.
The thread has some very good information regarding the bbl. contours, though.
I did not know that; thank you!

I do believe I will consider this as my next rifle project.

Basic stock KS in .350 Rem Mag....



Leupold 1.75-6 VX 3 with a Weaver base, Burris QD rings and BC Mountain Sling...



M7s are about as perfect a out of the box hunting rifle as you can buy... Tomorrow I put a 2.5x8 VX 3 on a young hunters stainless/synthetic .308...why Remington dropped the stainless M7s is beyond me...
