Ive got one in 7mm-08. Killed one deer with it and 140gr fusions that shoot about 1.5" Ive shot some test loads through it that shot really good and then the next time I try them out to verify they shot like crap. So Im going to have to play with it some more this spring and summer and see if I can work out the kinks. I dont think Ill ever be without a model 7 again. Its an awesome pack around rifle. Hauled mine around with me all last saturday on the 4 wheeler and hiking while out shed huntin. Didnt wear out my shoulder like my other rifles.

I don't like the new style synthetic stock. The old style was much better even thou they were butt heavy.

Love the M7, but that new MR M700 is looking like a neat little rig.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

One good thing concerning all of the Sevens is that the metal finish has always been done more nicely than the cheap 700s.
We've got a handful here in various calibers, and I don't regret any of them, from the old ones to the newer ones.

I love the m7. I have a predator in 243. I replaced the stock for a Bell and Carlson Ti syle stock. Great shooter.

I have the 'Predator' also, in 243. The stock is a little cheesy(cheap), maybe I should get a new one. I did replace the trigger with a Timney though. It shoots great.

Allthough, the tupperware did still shoot well enough! We've got TWINS!

Those two Predators with the B&C and Duracoat could really grow on a guy. That's the way Rem should have done it.

No worry on the homo part...they dont make Predators, or Model Sevens for that matter, in .270!
