Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Let’s see those Remington 7KS & 700KS

I am bored today so piddling around looking at some hunting rifles. Some of my favorite rifles I own are those of the Remington Custom Shop….namely the KS rifles. They are quite the rifle and in my opinion very understated. Those that know them, love them. I’m one of those that love them.

Who owns and loves the Remington KS mountain rifles?

Remington 700 Custom KS, that started life as a 375 H&H. Original owner had it re-barreled to 300 H&H, then accurized by Hill Country Rifles.

A project that's ever so close to being finished...

700KS in 7mm Rem Mag, Brown Pounder stock and a Schmidt & Bender 3-12x50 Klassik LM L3 illuminated reticle. Looking forward to posting some been there done that photos...

To my knowledge, the only left handed KS mountain rifle factory chambered in 300 H&H.



And its big brother, a lefty KS in 375 H&H. With some battle scars.



The 300 I had built in 1993. I called the custom shop and asked if they would do one so chambered. They said no problem. It’s killed a bunch of deer, quite a few elk, a few antelope and several caribou. The 375 I found at a shop in Wasilla for a bargain price. It came pre scarred from the previous owner. It is a handful from the bench but then, not many bench rest matches are shot with 375s.

You are right. The KS series are a good rifle. Understated is a good description. My two are wonderfully accurate and I’ve heard the same from other KS owners. I’m a fan.

No pics but I had a KS mountain in 8mm rem mag. Helluva rifle.

35 Whelen & .280

As somewhat of a Remington nut, the KS SS is possibly my favorite rifle from the Remington Custom Shop.

I'm away from home working in Alaska and can't get to them but I know I have a couple of 7mm Rem Mags that are both great shooters and a 300 RUM that I haven't even fired yet in the safe. I had some others chambered in various cartridges that I wasn't invested in and let them go in trades.

That’s a cool pair…. Dang.

There’s some nice looking KS Mountains here. Makes my two battle scarred veterans look like they need a facelift.

I’m pretty sure I’d do something financially irresponsible if I ever stumbled onto a left hand KS Mtn in 8mm RM.

These are great pics. Thanks for sharing. I had an opportunity to buy a stainless 375 several years ago and passed….very dumb. Not because I ever really needed it, but it was $900🤦🏻‍♂️

Remington's best effort in my opinion.

They are by far my favorite hunting rifle. I prefer the early series with gloss blue finish, jeweled bolt and Brown Precision stock.

Deserving of a kick in the jimmy.

That 280 though……nice

I hunted with my 700KS .300 Win Mag almost exclusively for maybe 17 years. It started out as the gloss blue model. I wanted a more durable finish and since it was before the stainless 700s arrived, I had McMillan electroless nickle plate everything. The only decent picture I have is from my 2006 sheep hunt along the Colorado River here in AZ.

.280 KS in its early years - pretty much sits in the back of the safe now.

Great pictures OM! That’s pretty darned cool.

These are great pics. I knew and have seen pics of some of these rifles. They are just awesome rifles
