I like the scope too! Good durable glass, plus the BP is pretty damn close to most .223 stuff...

I actually ordered this rifle for someone who said they were interested in one, but after I saw it, I decided to keep it for myself. I had the old Redfield one piece mount, and the scope, so I stuck them on and shot it to see what it would do. I have a ton of 223 bullets, but had some 60 grain Sierra SP's that I wanted to try, and them and Varget really shot well. The only problem was that sometimes the rifle didn't want to feed the first round. I changed the follower out and tried some VMax's and it worked alright after that. Yes, the Burris BP works good out to 300 yards. My 68 year old eyes require more power if I shoot further than that.

I love the Model Seven, and have 3 of them in 223. The other 2 are the Predator model, and they're actually more accurate than this rifle is.

Ive got a Model Seven Predator punched out to AI....with that same Burris scope on it...its a shooting sumbitch!

I'm no expert, and don't claim to be, but I have yet to see a Model 7 Predator that wasn't a very accurate rifle. I have 3 of them, 2 in 223, and one in 22-250. If I didn't have a safe full of 243's, I'd buy one of them. I don't understand why the Predator model didn't become a best seller for Remington. I guess it went the way of the Model 700 LVSF.

It even works on little deers....

Called in 4 of them, and shot these 2 as they came running in. Found a third one that I thought I'd missed later on. Rifle is 223 Model 7 Predator. Never shot anything but 50 grain VMax's in it, mostly because it shoots them so good.

NICE!!!

My Model Seven Predator has since undergone a change...Put a B&C Alaskan stock on it, rasped it down to Ti dimensions and repainted, Duracoated over the camo, and punched out to 223AI...

Nice looking rig. I like my factory stock, but the camo paint is wearing really bad on the left side of my rifle. I like those B&C Alaskan stocks.

I got his brother yesterday afternoon. didn't have my phone, so no pics I'm going to get his mother and his sister next. Am surprised the coyotes haven't got them, as they're close to a den site.

My Model 7 Predator in 243 is very accurate with 55 - 95gr bullets.

Wolf hunting with the AI?

We'll.......planning on a good bit of predator calling this fall, and will have a tag for lobo in my pocket..if one shows up.....

SWEET!

Kilt a few with the M7 Predator in 17 Fireball



ya!


GWB

NICE!


Ive got that same caller but haven't used it much....I'll be back down predator hunting this winter..


Looks like the .17 isn't too tough on the fur, if a guy was looking to keep it...

Three chamberings that can be relatively fur fiendly......





17 ackly Hornet

19 Calhoon (19-22 hornet)

22 Hornet


ya!


GWB

Geedub, Im gonna shoot some fur with a .223 slowed down to Hornet levels...likewise a .204 I slowed down...

we'll see how that goes...

Twenty caliber, 40 gr. v-max at speed can make a mess!




whitetail cull, +/- 80 yds.


as can a 223 AI











but, you know that.

Pix when you do!

ya!


GWB

Well, I slowed down some 60 NBTs in the .223AI with good results....





And a .222 at regular velocity with 50 grain SPs seemed OK too...
