Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Pictures of your Remington model 7's

Left to right 223, 7-08, 260, 243, 300 Blackout that I just picked up today.

All nice but love those XCRs! I've got one in 300 wsm

I always come back to this thread around this time of year and look at all the model sevens!!

M7 MS & M7 KS

Is that what I have here? I grabbed it a few hours ago not knowing exactly what it is.

What I do know:
Model 7
7-08 Remington
18.5" barrel
Matte finish
Used to have iron sights
Scope is a POS
Weight is 6 pounds 8 ounces.

What I don't know:
Who made the stock? It has "Remington" stamped in the recoil pad, which makes me think it's factory original.
Is this a special/limited edition from the factory?
What's it worth?

Thanks,

H-S 243

I don't have any Pics, but my newest (to me) is a Mod 7 Predator ( all camoed) in .243 Win. Its at the smiths now for a new Trigger Tech, Pillar Bed/float and replacing that tiny rear receiver screw with a standard Mod 700 Receiver screw. Years ago, when I went through several Mod 7's, had Kepplinger Set triggers put in, same bedding/bolt but always put a standard factory takeoff ( or similar Shilen. Money problems got them all, but they were fun. I always used the stock Synthetic, worked just fine.

Looks like an “FS” (fiberglass stock). ‘87-‘89
H, I, or J date code?
Factory offering; brown precision stock.

Thanks for the info. I stayed up late reading about it and the 7mm-08 cartridge last night. This little rifle is growing on me.

The bore is bright and the bolt face looks like it hasn't seen a full box of ammo go downrange.

Date code is PJ. I cleaned and lubed it this afternoon, got rid of the Tasco scope, and put on a Leupold 4x made back when they still held a zero. I'll probably hit the range with it tomorrow or the next day.

Any idea of value?

1k (ish) to the right buyer; maybe less in Brandon world.

Yup, looks to be an FS. If it's anything like my 308 it should be a shooter! Be sure to post a follow up.

Thanks.

This is a Model Seven FS with the Brown stock. Chambered in 7mm-08. I painted the gray stock olive with black webbing. That’s a VX-R 2-7 with dual dovetail base and rings. This would probably be the last rifle I would ever get rid of, to me it’s perfection.

No pics as I do not have a model seven, however, the LGS has a sweet little Seven in 223 with a light colored birch stock (not laminated). Length of pull seemed to be youth sized. Very temping.

That's a sharp rig Miguel. I set up my 308 FS similar to that but my scope is an older 3-9x33. I have to agree with you about how handy these are. I'd like to do something different with the stock on mine and maybe cerakote in the future as I don't think the parkerizing is very durable but boy do they handle and shoot nice.

They are damn fine rifles!!

Check the twist. Many rifles of that vintage are set up for 55-grain bullets.

Once again I'm back on this model seven thread. I wish they would bring them back!!

For some reason I have had thoughts of a Model 7 chambered in 300 Savage, about a 19-20" barrel. Sporter contour.

If I were to ever do it though I would probably just use a 700 action for the availability of aftermarket accessories and support.

Is there any real advantage of the 7 over 700?
