Remington model seven?

[Jayph]

Are these rifles any good? Contemplating buying one of the predator rifles but don't know anything about them? I have 3 model 700's that I am very happy with but the model seven feels sloppy in comparison. Mainly woried about average out of the box accuracy. Thanks in advance.

My wife has a model 7, laminate stock, blued in 223. That rifle absolutely loves the winchester white box 223 ammo. About an inch to an inch and a half at 100 yds consistently. Plus makes a very nice and light carry rifle for coyote hunting.

My wife missed a coyote with my M700 .223 as it's a touch awkward for her use, so I picked her up a Model Seven in .243 Win. It currently wears a Leupold VariX II 3x9x40 but I have a Leupold Compact 3x9 to install instead.

I've only tried some 80gr factory ammo and it put three shots into 1.25". Handloads will likely do better. All in all, a nice compact little rifle

Wouldn't trade mine for anything! Does everything from whitetail to dirt pigs. Muzzle blast is a little harsh out of that short pipe though.

Have had one in .308 Win. Was a good rifle but sold it to a fellow CGN'er who had it rebarreled to .358 Win. Hopefully he will chime in on how it's doing these days.

I do have another one, in .223 Rem though. Started out with the factory 18 1/2" pencil barrel. Had it rebarreled with a 24" Rem 700 takeoff barrel.

Looks like this now:

Shoots like this:

i have had an 7saum and two 308 rem 7's. for a lightweight rem i prefer my mountain rifles. have a 280ai and a 260. i like the longer barrel and think they balance better. weight is almost the same.

The rem model 7 is one of the finest rifles I have ever owned its my favorite,
action is like it was in butter,shoots 150 gr Hot Cors over 4064 -3/4" at 100
And is a pleasure to carry, put on a Basner Lightweight stock painted 1994 Chrysler Black Cherry
Weight all in with 1.76 to6x leupold 6.4oz

Had one in .223. It was as accurate as my 700vs. great little gun, never should have sold it.

I'd like to have one of those new Model Seven CDLs in 223.
