Never handled one. What's the twist? Remington website says 9 twist but the add on most I see for sale says 12 twist. Is the stock a B&C?

Stock is not B&C...its their own injection molded. A 9 twist in the .223 is a good thing.....

I have one of the new SS models in .223 Rem and yes it does have a 1 in 9" twist and no on B&C stock which I am glad of, if it was a B&C it would most likely have the thick wrist like the new Mountain rifle stock's have, a feature I hate as to me it ruins the feel of the rifle...................Hb

I got one of the SS M7's in 223 about a month ago, and have been playing with it some. All I shoot is reloads, so I've been experimenting a little, trying to find some loads it likes. I really like carrying this rifle, as I was looking for something lightweight, but found the trigger absolutely awful. Replaced it with a Timney, although had to do a little gunsmithing to get it to work. I've killed a couple of coyotes with it so far.

Ingwe do you still have the Model 7 .223 Predator? I pick one up the other day for 500.00 nib 9 twist. Curious if you still like it. Any thing to look out for?

Do the new Model 7's have the barcode stamp on the receiver near the serial number?

Yeah, Ive still got it.

I replaced the Xmark Trigger,punched it out to AI, replaced the stock with a B&C Alaskan, then tore it off and rasped it more into a Ti configuration, dura-coated the thing, and I shoot the hell out of it...recent pics after all the "improvements" ( aka-cobble jobs grin )

Thanks for the info. Love the look, I'm not crazy about the camo but it was a screaming deal.
