I don’t care for the scope mounts that are available for the Model 7. If staying with Remington, I’d rather have a 700 for the ease of finding better options for scope mounts, stocks and such.

A Tikka T3x Compact would be a nice handy rifle if you wanted a 20 inch barrel. I’m not sure if it comes with a shorter LOP, but finding a full size stock for cheap is no biggie.
